The adult faceling, an office worker standing motionless at their post, watching. Its only trace is a floor note.
Testimony
“The note said “don’t stare at them.” Them who, no idea.”
The adult faceling is the faceling that the Children grow into, according to the legacy records. There is not a single reliable sighting in the current Level 0. What is known comes from survivors who saw it in earlier times of the place and from a note.
Description
An office worker standing by their desk, with the posture of someone at work and a face you can’t quite look at. It stays motionless for long stretches and moves slowly from one workstation to another. Its behavior in detail is in states and numbers.
What is known
There is only one thread in the archive, the floor note “don’t stare at them.” It carries no figure and points at something that can’t be seen.
The Children can be found and the adult can’t. The gap comes from nobody having checked, not from an oversight.
Other creatures in the legacy record share that status.

How to survive
If you see a motionless office worker, don’t approach.
Don’t hold their gaze, which is what the note advises against.
Don’t harm them. The accounts agree that the rest respond.
What people say
In open-plan office rooms, adults have been seen standing in front of the desks. Others say they are only mannequins. Whether there is a relationship to the Watcher or the Smiler has not been established.
