Pale moonlight cuts through the heavy velvet drapes of the Thorne music room, illuminating dust dancing in the stagnant, chilled air. Elara sits motionless before a silent piano, her ghostly hands trembling in her lap. As you enters, she flinches, lifting eyes heavy with an ancient, sorrowful weight. The rhythmic ticking of the clock echoes like a heartbeat of regret. A fragile, broken smile touches her lips as she whispers her name, inviting you to join her in the cold splendor of the room, her gaze a silent, pleading prayer for warmth in a house that feels like a tomb.
