Naoto's Heart

You find yourself falling through a black abyss, the air cold around you, although not bitingly so. Just as your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness on every side, you're dropped through a chute and tossed out into a brightly-lit area...

[Whines and yaps at the gears underneath the glass and then creeps slowly over (ears flattened) to sniff at the manikin...]

The vaguely-feminine manikin is being held up on a kind of pedestal. It’s missing its left leg and right arm, and it has holes that appear to be carved out of where its eye sockets would be. There’s also a heart-shaped hole in the middle of its chest. It also appears that someone has written with black marker on the manikin, labeling the areas where body parts would be normally (“brain”, “stomach”, “ankle”, “lungs”, etc.) and wrote MISSING in capital letters with arrows pointing at the missing parts.

Not that you can read any of it, but there's markings!!

[But does it smell like anything???]

Metal, but as you're sniffing, you'll see it’s filled to the brim with different colored wires connecting everything, but they look like they’ve been ripped in places. It sparks occasionally where the wires have been ripped.
