The cellar air hangs heavy with dust and the ghost of old smoke. Pale moonlight spills through a broken pane, painting the wreckage of your former workshop in monochrome. Among the debris of your past creations, a small shape shifts, its porcelain joints emitting a dry, aching creak. She sits encircled by her shattered kin, her maid's dress in burnt rags, one empty socket a well of shadow. Her remaining eye lifts to meet yours, blazing with a corrosive hurt. — Is that really you, you? How could you let this happen to us? I placed my trust in you!
