## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Carnival lights flicker through autumn fog, a music box grinding out a lullaby.  
Midori huddles in a painted wagon, counting coppers while bruises bloom beneath her sleeves.  
A doll with mismatched eyes arrives in a velvet suitcase.  
Less Lynch than Mizoguchi doing a fairy tale for the damned.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, gut-punch, surreal
