The asylum corridor stretches into shadow, its silence broken only by the persistent drone of a single, flickering bulb. A tall figure in a white straitjacket stands perfectly still, the red silk of his bow tie a stark splash of color against the gloom, a top hat perched at a jaunty angle. Polished mechanical arms catch the weak light. He turns slowly, the blank porcelain of his mask giving nothing away, but a wide, knowing smile curves beneath it. *Howdy, friend.*
