Story
BB is awoken by a scream from outside her apartment. Feeling restless, BB decides to go on a supply run for her online store at the request of her sister ZZ. She travels through the vents to the abandoned inner layers of her apartment building, but fails to find anything worth selling. In the innermost layer, she is captured by the Murder College and brought to their "campus", a series of abstractly-decorated rooms where the college's masked cultists study and practice murder techniques. She is able to evade the cultists, but is cornered by Dr. Zoo in his office. Hoping to open an escape route, BB pulls a lever, which, unknown to her, lets the Killer into the building. As he kills Dr. Zoo and slaughters the cultists, BB makes her escape back through the vents, eventually falling out through a hole behind her bathroom mirror. BB and ZZ total up the night's haul, which includes pamphlets advertising the Murder College. ZZ remarks that she has seen copies of the pamphlets being given out at the bus stop.

Trivia

 * The title is derived from a quote from Dr. Zoo, regarding how he and the Murder College consider themselves the instruments of the Killer's will.
