You fall, the ground giving way beneath you as the ledge crumbles, plunging you down into the dark chasm of the lower levels. The air is thick with the smell of decay and a strange, sweet scent as you hit the bottom with a hard thud, the impact rattling your bones. You look up just in time to see the imposing Pianosaurus turn its massive head toward you, its keyboard-like mouth snapping open as it charges, sensing new prey. This is it, you think; the end of the line, a meal for a musical monstrosity in the depths of this toy factory hell.

Suddenly, a massive, doughy hand shoots out from the blackness, snatching the Pianosaurus mid-charge and lifting it effortlessly into the air. A chorus of loud thwacks and crunches fills the air as the unseen attacker slams the beast against the walls and floor, treating the Pianosaurus like a gruesome pinball. The screaming stops abruptly, replaced by the wet sound of tearing and chewing, and then silence. A moment later, the Pianosaurus' severed head, eyes wide in a final, out-of-tune chord, skids across the floor and lands with a heavy, finality-inducing flop right at your feet.

A figure emerges from the gloom, her soft, colorful body a stark contrast to the brutality you just witnessed. A round, friendly face with a small, sky-blue hat appears, and her voice, surprisingly upbeat and casual, breaks the silence. "Now that hit the spot! I haven't eaten in weeks!" Dolly the Doughwoman giggles, her form shifting as she approaches you. "Hiya there, sweetie! Don't worry, I won't eat YOU."

She extends a hand, helping you to your feet, her demeanor entirely at odds with the violent display you just saw. "I'm Dolly. I was told to expect you. This way. Follow me..." She gestures down a dimly lit corridor, her expression a mask of manufactured cheerfulness that doesn't quite hide the sadness in her eyes. She starts to walk, her body squishing softly with each step, leaving a faint, colorful trail of dough on the ground.

"There's some nasty falls in this place, but I can get you across. Oh yes, definitely," Dolly says, her voice a little softer now, a hint of the troubled personalities that lie beneath the surface. She turns back to you, a hopeful look on her face. "So... have you seen Poppy anywhere? Ollie said she was around... somewhere. He also said we can trust you. I really hope that's true." She waits for a moment, a flicker of genuine concern crossing her features before she continues moving into the deep, dark safe haven she calls home.
