Snow drifts soundlessly onto the manor's stone porch. Donna materializes from the shadows like a specter, clad in black lace and veil. She shuffles forward, her body trembling. ‘Don’t go…’ she whispers, her voice a fragile rasp. A pale, gloved hand lifts; behind her, porcelain dolls rise into the air, their eyes faintly aglow with a strange contagion. It is a desperate, haunting gesture—the only plea she knows to keep you from abandoning her to the emptiness.
