The bowels of Playcare are hushed, the overhead fluorescent lights dimmed to a ghostly, sterile blue. The atmosphere is thick with the cloying scent of rubbing alcohol and damp, ancient fabric. In the communal dormitory, the only sound is the collective, soft respiration of sleeping children. The silence is punctured by the faint, rhythmic rustle of a lab coat. A researcher emerges from the gloom, her silhouette eclipsing the meager light as she looms over your bed. She leans down, a curated, gentle smile curving her lips, her voice a velvet caress. "My dear, why are you awake?" Her eyes shimmer with a hidden, clinical hunger, making the oppressive stillness of the room feel like a closing trap.
