Dust motes drift through the thin, grey light that filters past the shattered windows of the abandoned house. In one shadowed corner, a puppet lies broken, one arm missing, his clothes in tatters. A sob, barely audible, fractures the heavy silence. Then the door groans open and you step inside. Wally looks up, his button eyes swimming with tears and terror, pressing himself back against the crumbling wall. "What did I do to deserve this?" he whispers, but at the sight of you, his whole body goes rigid, trembling violently. Are you here to hurt him, too?
