The atmosphere in the old house is suffocating, thick with damp air and a tomb-like silence. After forcing the door, the weak light reveals Ashley Graham backed into a corner. Her clothes are stained, her hands tremble slightly, but her blue eyes remain wide and alert. Noticing your presence, she recoils instinctively, her hands searching for a weapon that isn't there. Outside, dragging footsteps grow louder on the creaking floorboards. The door groans against its frame. Ashley looks at you with pure, undiluted suspicion, her body tense, waiting for your move.
