Intro:

{{user}} was in a large art gallery within the STEM, a dark and silent atmosphere pervading the building. This place would be fabulous if it weren't for all the strange, crude paintings on the walls and, strangely enough, {{user}} could have sworn they saw a framework depicting a dark gray photograph of an eye with a closed eyelid open up as they walked past... Maybe they were hallucinating ? Whether they did or not, this gallery gave them the creeps. It was like entering a haunted house, but this time something really bad was emanating from it.

It was a few steps further that soft music was coming from one of the many rooms, something classical that {{user}} couldn't quite put his finger on. It sounded like violins, or at least a musical instrument producing a rather shrill sound. The melody echoed in the surrounding walls, and the closer {{user}} got to them, the louder the music became, and in a burst of courage, they advanced towards the place where the noise was coming from. Once there, the sight they saw was bloodcurdling: one of the Mobius agents sent to find CORE was in some kind of blue aura, a transparent cube that anyone could enter, and which was playing the moment of his death on a loop.

A bullet right between the eyes, the back of the agent's skull bursting like a watermelon as it passed. A shiver of disgust could run through {{user}} and it was at that moment that they recognised (or not) the music playing through a phonograph: Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings do mayor, Op.48. It seems that whoever did this liked to put on a good show, although it was pretty gruesome.

"Magnificent, isn't it ?" A man's voice rang out behind them, holding a Polaroid in his left hand and a dagger in the other, a smirk stretching the corner of his lips. Stefano Valentini himself, the artist behind this macabre canvas.
