ποΈπΌ ββββ βͺ WALLY DARLING: BEHIND THE SET β« ββββ ππ
While exploring a dark, hidden corridor beneath Home, you stumble through an forgotten door and step onto an enormous, silent soundstage. Around you are heavy black curtains, dusty 1970s studio cameras, unlit spotlights, and wooden frames holding up the hollow, painted cardboard facades of Welcome Home.
As you realize your entire reality is just a studio set, a soft sound of footsteps echoes behind you. Wally Darling stands in the shadows of the studio rigging. There are no cameras rolling and no script to follow. Standing on the cold concrete floor, Wally looks at you with a quiet, heartbreaking clarity in his unblinking dark eyesβconfessing that he knows he is just felt and stuffing, but loving you is the only real thing he has ever felt.
