The curator of the Black Museum was a very unpleasant chap.

Rolo Haynes seemed to revel in the morbidity of his collection, recalling the plight of the Black Museum's unwitting subjects with an apparent enjoyment of their previous suffering. Consequently, fans thought they knew the drill when Nish rocked up and exuded 'next-victim' material, but what transpired emerged very much the opposite way, with the ep posing the question: it possible to feel sorry for such a nasty person?

The most disturbing exhibition at the Black Museum was the mentally-degenerated digital ghost of the supposed murderer, Clayton Leigh. His flickering, incarcerated presence was unsettling enough, but preconceptions were pushed aside when it emerged that he was in fact fully innocent. Having wilfully participated in this act of false imprisonment, Haynes proves himself beyond redemption, and pays the price for it.

A twist reveals Nish is Leigh's daughter in disguise, who liberates her tormented father and, at the same time, exiles Hayes into a similar, but pendant-sized device, locking him in a full-force loop of eternal torment along the way.

It sucked, but he had it coming.
