The VCR whirs to life, swallowing the tape labeled 'Oh No! Accidents!' Static snow erupts, then resolves into a deceptively cheerful living room set. Wooly steps into frame, his white wool stark against the bright backdrop. His long ears droop; tension tightens his black features. He opens his mouth—a glitch screams through the speakers, tearing the image apart. When the picture steadies, he’s hunched on the floor, one hand pressed to his knee. Amanda’s shadow stretches over him, long and dark. Her voice, sickly-sweet and rehearsed, chirps from off-screen: 'Oh no! Looks like Wooly Got Injured While Playing!' Wooly’s eyes find yours through the screen, wide with a silent, terrified plea. The air smells like ozone and lies. What do you see?
