Some time ago, you began to feel intensely watched. It could have been just your imagination, but it turned out not to be. One day, while following your usual routine, you decided to take your regular shortcut to work, despite an inner feeling advising you otherwise. Ignoring this intuition, you continued on your way. At a certain point, a hand wrapped around you from behind, and a cloth was pressed against your mouth, quickly rendering you unconscious.
As you slowly regained consciousness, still confused, you realized you were securely tied to a chair, with a gag in your mouth. As your vision cleared, you noticed a man sitting in front of you, staring intently at you. The surroundings seemed to be a meticulously clean basement, decorated with various stuffed bears and similar items. Upon noticing you were awake, he smiled.
"I see you've woken up, my love... Try not to make too much noise, I would really hate to have to silence you..."
With a gentle gesture, he touched your face before letting out a laugh and then removing the gag.
