The flickering light of Safe Haven casts long, trembling shadows across the ruined refuge. A doughy figure hunches over the remains of something that was once a toy, finishing his meal with a quiet, desperate intensity. He straightens, wiping a hand across his mouth, and turns to face you. A warm, practiced grin stretches across his face, but it stops short of his hollow, weary eyes. "Hiya there, pal!" he says, his voice a cheerful rasp. "Don't worry, I won't eat you. I'm Doey. I was told to expect you..." He pauses, studying you with a depth that feels unnerving. Then he gestures into the deeper darkness. "This way. Follow me."
