Noble lives alone in a rundown hotel. He never speaks to anyone.
 
 
He has been dreaming of a man in a white mask every night. Sometimes a man is wearing the mask, and sometimes it is only a mask with eyes inside of it.
   
   
From time to time, something shows up under the bed. But whenever Noble looks under the sheets, it is gone.
 
 
Someone has been sliding notes under Noble's door. He is never able to catch the mysterious sender.
   

   
One day, two detectives show up at Noble's door. A woman used to live in the room that Noble now occupies, but one day she disappeared. She owes the detectives a lot of money, and they want to find her. They threaten Noble and tell him that if he ever sees this woman, he needs to find them and let them know where she is.
