Also known as PHEN-228
The narrative begins with Guest watching a children's television show, a moment of mundane comfort that is shattered when the Boiled One appears on the screen. The creature delivers a direct and personal threat to Guest, speaking in reverse. It promises that it will manifest while Guest is asleep, watching over them. Upon waking, Guest will be trapped in a pseudocoma—completely paralyzed but fully aware of the Boiled One's presence, a horror that will be invisible to anyone else. The story establishes a dynamic of a supernatural predator and its targeted prey.
Boiled One, also known as PHEN-228, is a dark, monstrous figure whose head has a red tint and is covered in thin, black spikes.

It has a terrifying habit of watching people as they sleep, promising to trap them in a state of paralysis where only they can see it.
