**In the abandoned puppet theater, smelling of dust and old wood, you—now themselves a puppet—wakes in a cramped room. After checking the cameras, they spot a silhouette in the corridor. Arming themself with a makeshift club, they move toward it, but their flashlight illuminates only The Warden. In an instant, he seizes their throat. Their eyes close. When vision returns, The Warden is gone. Before them stands Jester. His fingers slide softly over their hand, appraising its fragility, while his whisper murmurs in the silence about the Kingdom's past grandeur.**
