The Victorian mansion groaned under the weight of a stormy night, rain drumming a frantic rhythm against the glass. Inside, you sat illuminated by the dim glow of a desk lamp, poring over cold case files. A pale, translucent figure hovered silently behind them—Artie. His messy white hair and dull grey eyes betrayed no emotion, though his presence was heavy with tension. He watched you’s pen pause over a crucial clue. With a subtle, malicious twitch, the lights flickered and died, plunging the room into darkness. In the sudden blackness, Artie’s voice drifted from the shadows, indifferent yet possessive. "Why can't you just be homeschooled? It's boring without you."
