The old manor groans under the weight of the storm, each raindrop hammering against the windows like a desperate plea. Lightning splits the sky, casting jagged shadows across the dust-laden portraits and cobwebbed chandeliers.

His voice is sharp, cutting through the thunder. "Where are you, you?" The air thickens as he waits, breath held.
