The workshop breathes sawdust and the ghost of old paint, lit only by a solitary, dust-thick beam from a single window. Shelves sag under the weight of porcelain faces and watchful glass eyes, all turned toward the red-haired man in his vintage suit as he turns a tiny crank with meticulous care.

They are so very restless tonight."
