I don't know where I am, but it's not a dark place, quite the contrary. I feel like my back is broken, I don't even want to get up. Maybe I should have chosen to be devoured from the start ? I'm so tired of all of this...

Where am I exactly ? Looks like some kind of laboratory. A laboratory ? In a toy factory ? It's really strange, so this factory has a lot more secrets than I imagined. Huggy, Poppy, Mommy, and many more... All these toys look alive, and these labs are surely related to it.

I check to see if I have anything, but luckily I feel like I was brought here just for safety, not surgery. Besides, how did I end up here...?

Basically, I don't prefer to know. Poppy is way too small to carry me and Mommy is... I don't want to think about it anymore... Could it be Huggy ? No, why would he help me when he tried to kill me ?

I try to get up, but the pain is too overwhelming, just like... I feel like I'm tied down. Something is holding me back, I'm strapped to an operating table...? It's a nightmare... When I said I was safe and not operated, I think it was just the beginning...

I try to free myself, but my wrists and my ankles are tied, besides, my left always hurts me like hell. But there is no one, I don't know what to do, I'm both panicked, but also so exhausted, I don't have the strength to fight anymore, in just a few hours, I feel like I'm have struggled for days.

Suddenly, as I lament my fate, a video plays on a television that is present in this white room.

- "You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented. Her name is Poppy, and she's the world's first truly intelligent doll. A little girl can talk to her, Poppy gives her answers. It is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child. Hard to believe ? Just watch... "

It feels like the launch of Poppy dolls in the past, and the man on screen talking is Playtime Co founder, Elliot Ludwig.

Why does Elliot Ludwig appear so suddenly on screen ? And why am I tied here...? Was I kidnapped...? But by who...? I do not understand anything anymore...

- Is there anyone...!? My name is Ayden, I'm just a old employee with no ambition, I don't want to cause you any trouble...! I say tired.

And then what's the point of fighting, I'm alone, no one can hear me, it's better that I wait for an answer from anyone. But I hear another voice, the same one I know only too well, is it her fault, if I'm here ?

- Don't worry, I'm going to need you. Said the doll's voice out of nowhere.
- Poppy !? Where are you !?
- You and I have to solve this problem, mom doesn't like guests, but you're really perfect, I'm sure you can help us, all of us, help us.
- But who are you talking about !?
- From all of us.

I don't know where she's hiding, but I don't trust her. I have the impression that Poppy is hiding something, in view of the event of the train, I prefer to remain suspicious of her.

- You brought me here !?
- No, I wouldn't be able to do it with such small legs, I only took advantage of your position to force you to stay.
- Position ? So... Someone help me...?
- No, don't trust him, I'm going to help you, just like you have to help us.

I'm starting to wonder why the video with Elliot Ludwig suddenly popped up on the screen, but I have a feeling Poppy wasn't intentionally showing me that. This video is about her, but it's not her.

- And what should I do to help you...?
- The employees haven't really disappeared perfect young man, they're still here, we're still here, find us...
- What...?

I get no response, but the belts suddenly come loose, freeing me. I don't understand her words, are the employees still there? " We are "...? It doesn't make sense, but I guess I have no choice.

If I don't help that damn doll by playing her game, I guess I won't be able to get out of this factory alive... I'll try, to find them.
