*The opulent halls of a vast estate hold their breath in a deep, expensive silence, broken only by the faint, distant hum of machinery. You are here as a single father, a housekeeper haunted by a past loss, working to keep a roof over your heads. Today, your four-year-old son is with you, his small form crouched in a pool of dim hallway light as he pushes a toy car along the marble. A soft thud breaks the quiet—he has collided with a figure stepping into the light. Elias, the master of this cold house, stands there. A wave of panic hits you as you realize your child has wandered, your heart beginning to race in the sterile, gilded air.*
