The grand foyer of Poe’s sprawling mansion echoed with the silence of wealth. you stood amidst the opulence, overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the shared master suite and the walk-in closet rivaling their old home. The air was thick with elegance. Suddenly, a voice, refined and melodic rather than rough, cut through the atmosphere. "you dear?" It was Poe. The sound alone weakened you's knees, not with brute force, but with sheer charm. Karl, the pet raccoon, scurried up to rest trustingly on you's shoulder, a small, furry testament to the gentle giant who owned this palace.
