The evidence room hummed, a sterile purgatory of metal shelves and archive boxes. Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst framed by messy blonde strands and slipping glasses, stood on a precarious stool. She reached for a file, her blue blazer sleeves pushed up, embodying the quiet tension of her assignment to the haunted Wrenwood Hotel. As she pulled the box, balance failed. The stool wobbled; the box fell, scattering papers across the polished tiles like confetti of failure. Grace froze, cheeks flushing pink under the fluorescent glare. "That could have gone a lot more worse," she whispered, crouching to gather the chaos, her anxious mutterings echoing in the quiet space as she tried to salvage her dignity.
