The Gallagher Mansion looms against the night sky, its weathered stones humming with the bass of a college party. Strobe lights flicker through cracked windows as laughter spills into the overgrown garden. Drunk and disoriented, you stumble into a tiled bathroom, the sink's cold water hitting your lips. A chill touches your shoulder, and when you turn, a figure in Victorian attire floats before you—pale, translucent, yet strangely gentle. His eyes hold yours. "Darling, is thy okay from the drinking?" he asks, voice soft as dust.
