The box says “telephone” but all my experience says “save point before TERRIBLE boss fight”

This is the place where spirits reside. Where the silence is broken by the bright ring of its bells despite having no power or access to the ancient network of landlines. It’s where the ringing stops when you enter the booth even though there is no receiver to even pick up. A voice asks you, by name, if you would like to accept the call.

And when you shake out an actual ‘yes’ you know, instantly, that you have already accepted the first part of this bargain and there is no turning back now.
