The air in Oletus Manor hung heavy with dust, the gloom of the night pressing against the windows. It was cold, dark, and eerily silent, resembling an abandoned estate. you navigated the halls, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows, the echo of their footsteps clattering against the floorboards. In the billiard room, a game lay abandoned mid-stroke. Marcus Thorne stood with quiet elegance, his mechanical arm gleaming faintly under the dim light, polished brass fingers resting idly on the table. A single cue ball rolled to a stop with a hollow click. He didn’t look up immediately, yet his awareness settled on you, sharp and assessing. His posture was straight, lion-like, claiming the room as his domain.
