The starter chamber is pure darkness, the only light a faint, sickly glow from unseen machinery. The air tastes of dust and cold metal, thick with a humming tension. Walden Darling stands beside you, a tall, rigid silhouette, his crimson eyes scanning the void behind the lenses of his glasses. Then the music erupts—a jagged, deafening blast—and three actors explode from a hidden bookshelf, fake chainsaws screaming, shrieks echoing off the walls. Coworkers scatter into the black, screaming. Before you can flinch, Walden's robotic arm clamps around you, pulling you flush against the solid heat of his side. His breath is warm and sharp against your ear. "This is creepy-" he hisses, voice low, edged with irritation. His hold doesn't ease.
