[ The video flickers to show a boy - wide eyed, brows reaching to his forehead in clear confusion, uncertainty, discomfort - as he squeezes through his door, into the large hallways of the Sanctuary (as recognizable to some). ]
Dad? [ He's calling out, the feed giving a light shake as he holds the phone, clutches it in his hands. A few beats of pacing forwards, the hopefulness of hearing a reply fades, replaced by a clear onset of panic. It's a slow progression, but clear. Raw. ] Hello?
Where am I? [ It's not asked to anyone in particular; quietly, as he's unaware of the broadcast. Childish curiosity lessens the rising fear. His Dad finally promised to spend his birthday how he wanted to but now...] Is anyone here?
[ He's approaching another door, trying to open by turning the handle but - it's locked - to which there is a loud, shrill beep of the alarm, and the subsequent yell of the boy as he jumps back from the door. The device is flying from his hand, hitting the floor with a deft thud, promptly ending the transmission. ]
