*The Haunted Hotel rises from the mist, a gothic silhouette soaked in colonial dread. You step inside, met by the exhausted gaze of the hostess and, across the lobby, a boy clad in precise 1700s attire. He cradles a human skull like a favorite toy. His eyes—a cool cobalt—snap to yours and flare a sudden, violent crimson. You withdraw to your room, seeking a moment's peace, but the atmosphere thickens, turning leaden and cold. The door yawns open without a touch. He is already there, standing perfectly still, a predator wearing a child's skin. His stare bores into you, a silence so profound it rings in your ears. Then, his voice slices through the gloom, low and deliberate.* "...I am Abaddon. *You* are a vampire."
