An older man stands in the center with one hand raised. A young man crouches at left holding a can, and a woman stands at right holding a book. Skeletal hands emerge from rubble in front of a glowing altar. Visible text: “CUL-DESACrifice,” “The Altar in the Cupboard,” “NO. 1,” “$9.95,” and “Oct 2026.” There is no dialogue.

In a stone basement room, a gray-haired man stands near a floor drain as a young man kneels beside a toolbox and a black-haired woman stands by the cabinets. The gray-haired man says, “Mr Keane.

They are not wrong. We can discuss your release mechanisms later. Miss Shaw: Septimus? Sam! Did you knowingly seal a sentient entity inside the walls without its consent? Sam: Of course not. Septimus knows he's not supposed to be in the air ventilation. Only the gas pipes. I explained that to him while I was working. Sam: Don't pretend you're hard done by, mate! If you keep leaking out through the air vents, it'll just be a matter of time before you accidentally smother another innocent. I don't want to answer the front door and find a dead Uber Eats driver alongside my lunchtime burrito. Septimus: Miss Shaw, this is my personal chamber of dark ritual and sacrifice. Certain accoutrements are necessary and symbolically important and...
