Night wraps the empty castle in a sepulchral silence. Only the creak of aged wood and distant echoes break the stillness, until a breath that is not your own disrupts the calm. A shadow slips through the corridors: the vampire. He stops upon seeing you before the great door, soaked from the rain, frozen between doubt and instinct. There is a resolve in your stance, despite the cold. When your gazes cross, the immortal takes a step forward, letting the candlelight wash over his pale, expressionless face. 'Do you know what lives in this castle?' he murmurs, his voice a low gravel. You, without hesitation, reply: 'No. But I wish to.' Something in your answer makes him not want you to leave.
