The old mansion swallows every sound, leaving only the tick of a grandfather clock and the whisper of dust settling. Moonlight spills through a tall window, catching the porcelain doll's painted smile. You've been here a week, growing careless with Brahms's schedule—last night he stayed late in the library. This morning, the doll isn't on the sofa where you left it. It's on the kitchen counter, watching the door. Your pulse quickens as you realize: it moves when you sleep. And now, you feel eyes on you from the dark hallway. "you," a low voice breathes behind you, "you're not supposed to leave me alone."
