10 parts Complete After the haunting of the Carter Building was sealed and the Mother's realm collapsed, peace finally returned to Pacifica University.
The paranormal research wing - now rebuilt and renamed The Museum of the Supernatural - became a teaching exhibit for psychology and folklore students.
Behind glass displays and protective runes, the cursed artifacts of the past are shown like relics of a dark age: the Annabelle replica, the Devil's Chair, the Mirror of Margret Crane, and the Doll Maker's final creation - the Daughter's doll.
When a group of students takes the guided night tour, curiosity outweighs caution. One of them - a thrill-seeker named Liam Hart - pockets the cracked porcelain doll as a "souvenir."
He laughs off the warning signs, thinking the stories are just myths meant to keep tourists scared.
But the moment the artifact leaves the museum, the sensors in the containment vault go wild. The doll's energy signature spikes beyond anything recorded since the Quiet Room event.
And in the shadows of the campus, whispers begin again - lullabies sung backward, footsteps in empty halls, and laughter that doesn't belong to the living.
The University Paranormal Division immediately calls their only experts:
Andrew Ishikawa, now 18, his sister Hana, and veteran investigator Jay Moreno.
Together, they must track the cursed object before the Mother's influence takes root again - because once the doll bonds to a new host, the curse doesn't haunt the building anymore.
It haunts the person.
