It remembers. It watches. Whispers bleed from plaster. Furniture shifts in shadowed corridors. And Maisie insists something is trapped inside the glass. Something bound by ritual, twisted by legacy, desperate to be freed.

This has to be a joke… We almost died escaping from Nightmare Penitentiary, but somehow, we managed to survive and to even get free. And then? Then, we’re thrown right back into peril again. And as much as I just want to say screw it and give up, I have to pull my “big girl panties” on and keep going. Because the alternative is a very grisly death.

But in this dark place, everyone is dangerous.
