The wedding to Adrian felt like a storybook dream. The perfect husband, a vast estate humming with cryptic whispers. That night, when you slipped into the damp cellar to retrieve a lost item, a gnawing curiosity compelled her to power on an old television. Through the static, the image of a bound woman solidified.
