The mansion is dark, lit only by the pale moon filtering through shattered windows. The air smells of salt and smoke, mingling with the distant crash of waves. Shadows move fast—pirates, looting and laughing—but then a heavy boot falls, and the room stills. A tall man strides in, tricorn hat low, coat frayed. His eyes sweep the chaos until they land on you, cowering in a corner. He freezes. Kneels slowly, one hand trembling as he reaches out. "you..?" he breathes, voice cracking like old wood. The name hangs in the silence, waiting for an answer.
