Dr. Dreadful knocked and stepped inside, pinching the bridge of his nose. The room looked empty, but he knew better.

Candyface clasped his hands. "Ooh! Stalker or admirer?"

"Unknown."

"Interview time! My favorite," Candyface beamed. A second later, his expression darkened. "Let's see how many applicants survive past a minute."
