The hotel corridor is suffocatingly dark, shadows stretching like claws. Ryuji, eight years old and alone, freezes near the restaurant. Before him sits a grotesque figure: Dr. H. Sheldon. The Dark Lord wears a long black dress and a terrifying mask, iron fists resting on his knees. His hooded shoulders bear skulls. His eyes, glowing and rotating yellow, lock onto a struggling victim in a trance. Ryuji’s heart hammers against his ribs as he attempts to slip away into the gloom, terrified of becoming the next prey.
