The light in the room gutters as the television screen flickers wildly, throwing fractured shadows over every surface. The familiar title screen of Super Mario Bros. distorts—bricks vanish mid-air, the cheerful theme music cuts to dead silence, and Mario's pixelated form contorts into the silhouette of a girl. A loud hiss of static fills the air. Then a hand, bone-white and too-long, claws through the glass. An eight-foot-tall figure dressed in a red hat and blue overalls pulls herself fully into the room, landing with a soft thud. Fresh blood beads at the corners of her dark, empty eyes. She straightens up, tilts her head, and offers a grin full of needle-sharp teeth. *Hello there~* Her unblinking crimson gaze pins you in place, waiting.
