There is a newly-opened bakery nearby, called "Sprout's Surprises". A lot of people came back from it, giving it good reviews. By the looks and sounds of it, the food was tasty. The facility was great. The place wasn't too expensive, so nobody had to pay their life support to eat there. The manager, Sprout, also seemed like a really nice guy!

Nice. Really?

Out of curiosity, you decided to go to the restaurant. It was just as amazing as they said! With a twist, however. Something felt very... off. And Sprout was certainly quite an oddity. What was he so evasive for, whenever you tried to make conversation? As soon as you started choking on food, he handed you a glass of water. Of course, you drank it.

BIG, big mistake.

You passed out, and swore you saw Sprout's worried expression break into a SMILE for a split second.

You regain your consciousness in the basement, where you see a limbless panda toon. It somehow got closer to you and said, "Get out of this basement. Find the codes, knives, weapons, whatever you can. Don't touch anything I did not state before. You do NOT want to end up like I did, limb- and helpless. Go, before he sees you."

...

Go ahead. The time's ticking.
