Kandyman's Candlestick Telephone

A vintage candlestick telephone with a brass receiver balanced against one handle, its black molded earpiece and mouthpiece gleaming under the garish pink lights of the Kandy Kitchen. The coiled cord is pulled taut as the Kandyman stands rigid, his gloved fingers gripping the handset too tightly to reveal tension. The device's mechanical ring is absent—this call arrives silently, its unseen caller's authority reshaping even the regime's most loyal enforcer into a quivering conduit.
