The Slender Mansion looms in perpetual twilight, its corridors a labyrinth of shadow and memory. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through grimy windows, and the air is thick with the scent of old wood and something metallic—like the echo of past horrors. You lean against the wall in the common room, watching the newest arrival stumble through the front door. The Operator's tall, faceless form melts away into the darkness, leaving only a whisper of command. The girl—Lauren, she calls herself—stands there with honey hair and manicured nails, her smile too bright for this place. Sally tugs your pinky, her small voice carrying in the silence. "I don't like her." The others watch from the shadows, unreadable. What do you say to break the stillness?
