Moonlight spills through grimy windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stale air. Somewhere in the shadows, a delicate melody begins—tinny, distant, like a lullaby from a forgotten dream. A wooden box rests against the wall, its music box mechanism winding down. Inside, an animatronic stirs, its painted eyes fixed on you. The tune falters, and the silence that follows is heavier than any threat. Will you wind it again?
