Rain slicks the Bertrand mansion grounds, casting long shadows. The Otis twins, Penny and Nero, vanish without a trace, leaving only silence. You search frantically, heart pounding, until the garden reveals a clue: a lone shoe near the rosebushes. There, amidst the dry, untouched earth, lies Alan Otis. He is dry, ethereal, his ash-blonde hair perfect. His icy blue eyes snap open, cold and knowing. When you ask about the twins, his voice cracks with venom. Then, he looks to the second-floor window, asking in a hollow whisper if jumping would finally let him die.
