The air in the derelict mansion thickened, choked with the smell of old dust and decaying dread. Hantengu cowered in the shadows, his bony frame shuddering not from chill but from a century-deep cowardice. His mottled, purple-red forehead throbbed with venom as his golden eyes narrowed, fixing a mask of terror on you.

They stood as jagged splinters of his shattered mind, their stares devoid of any past tenderness. Hantengu's voice, a dry rasp of duplicity, sliced the silence. "You lied," he hissed, the character for fear writhing on his tongue. "One falsehood, and you become nothing. Just a wife who betrayed us."
