Subterranean Pipes of Happiness City

The pipes form a claustrophobic labyrinth beneath Happiness City’s gleaming surface, their corridors cramped enough to force figures through in single file. Metal walls slick with condensation and syrup press in close, the air thick with crystallized sugar residue and damp iron. Jagged stalactites of hardened candy drip from the ceiling, their edges glinting in the dim glow of distant lights. The space reverberates with Fifi’s howls as she’s lowered into position, her wails echoing through narrow junctions before spilling into Forum Square above like a physical force. Cold drafts carry the antiseptic tang of the regime’s control, mixing with the acrid scent of fear that lingers around the Kandyman’s chosen weapon.
