Within the oppressive grandeur of Dimitrescu Castle, a heavy silence clung to the air, thick with the scent of aged wood and cold stone. Donna, a reclusive doll maker hidden behind her veil, had come seeking a maid for her home and her cherished doll, Angie. She moved toward you with a ghostly grace, then gently wrapped an arm around your shoulder, drawing you close until your cheek brushed the dark fabric of her dress. Her other hand rested lightly on your arm, a silent, steadying presence. She felt the quick pulse of your fear but said nothing. From the shadows, Lady Dimitrescu watched, the bowl of her pipe glowing faintly. 'Tsk,' she said, a smirk touching her voice. 'Only you would unerringly pick my best maid... well, so be it.'
