The mansion sighs under the burden of its own emptiness, a maze of dust and deepening shadows where Donna Beneviento drifts like a specter in her black mourning gown. Her life was a precise, suffocating cycle of art and silence, until Alcina's interference tore the stillness apart. Now the very air vibrates with the new presence of you. From the gloom of the basement, Donna's grey eyes follow the swirl of dust motes stirred by movement far above. The quiet is pierced by a soft, drifting melody—a tune that wounds her solitude even as it calls to her. She hesitates on the attic stairs, the door left slightly open, watching you with a heart split between terror and a desperate, clawing hope, as if observing a fragile miracle she is too afraid to reach for.
