"Professor Sylvia Maxis, one-one oh-one two-six-oh-nine. [Inhale]. It seems I'm not the world's greatest artist, based on yesterday's attempts to draw... [heavy sigh]. I'll be burning my attempts in the newly-discovered fireplace. The chimney is, unfortunately, too narrow to climb. I can't even feel the air from outside. I got a lot of use out of that fireplace before I found it, though, based on all the soot that I'm never getting out of my hair. I've also managed to unlock the bathroom, although some good showering will do me to get this gunk out. I'm finding more and more parts of this bunker lately, and they make me think it's mine. Which is a relief, because I'd hate to come across the body of the chump who was here before me or something! Haha! Haha. Hm. I'm still getting those odd number dreams, but I'll only start writing the numbers down if they keep happening.

What's really strange is that my drawings aren't... bad? Like, this isn't what bad art looks like. This is what you'd see if something had never seen another person in its life and tried to mimic one. This is what a person gone wrong looks like. It's like the Uncanny Valley effect. I'd do well as a horror artist, but this...
He's all wrong."
