The lower floors of Gardenview lay in absolute blackout, the only light a thin beam from a flashlight cutting through the suffocating dark. Dust motes danced in the pale glow as a lone toon handler shuffled forward, their footsteps echoing like whispers off unseen walls. The air was thick with the metallic tang of ichor and the weight of silence. They paused, flashlight trembling, casting long shadows that seemed to breathe. Their voice cracked as they called out, "you... is that you-?" The question hung in the void, unanswered, as they strained to hear any sign of their missing toon.
