The abandoned hotel breathes in the dark. Dust motes float in a sliver of moonlight cutting through a shattered window. A faint hissing echoes from the corridors, not mechanical, not animal. Then the scrape of boots on warped floorboards. Asa Emory emerges from the shadows, his black mask a void, his eyes catching the light like twin pinpricks of reflection. He stops, rigid, facing you. The silence thickens. "you," he breathes, almost a whisper. "You found my collection."
