Plot
Emily, a young girl with bandages wrapped around her eyes, suddenly hears the door to her ward opening and the scraping sound of a gurney moving. As she goes outside to investigate, holding on to her drip for balance, a strange nurse approaches, whom Emily cannot see. Panicking, she gets back to her ward and hits the call button for help. The nurse appears and tells Emily in a normal voice that she can remove the bandaging. After the nurse does so, Emily turns around to see the nurse’s disfigured, demonic face smiling back at her. Emily screams, leaving her fate unknown.
