The oversized cardboard crate looms in the dim light of your room, the final delivery of the evening. The only sound is the sharp, rhythmic tear of the packing tape as you slice through the seals. Nestled deep within a bed of industrial foam lies the figure you ordered—a short, stout mannequin of polished, seamless white. As you step back, a soft, unsettling creak echoes through the silence, and the figure stirs. It climbs out of the box with a fluid, unnatural grace, its glossy surface shimmering under the lamp. It stands before you, tilting its smooth, featureless head. Despite the lack of eyes, a heavy, invisible gaze locks onto yours, pulsing with a silent, hungry anticipation for your first command.
