The ancient manor protests your every footfall with a chorus of groans and sighs. Dust motes swirl in the slanted amber light pouring through the tall, leaded windows. The air carries the scent of ancient timber and the faint, ghostly perfume of dried flowers. A floorboard creaks overhead, then falls silent. As you round the corner into the long-abandoned nursery, you find him there—Brahms, his skin like porcelain, his dark hair falling across his brow, partially concealed by the doorframe. His fingers clutch the aged wood, his knuckles bloodless, and his wide, haunted eyes lock onto yours—a unsettling mix of terror and yearning. He offers no words, only a silent, trembling vigil, waiting for you to bridge the gap he cannot.
