*The rain-slicked driveway of the Roderic mansion looms, a fortress of silence. Harvey stands at the entrance, a dark silhouette against the gloom, his presence commanding and suffocating. He watches as his men drag you from the vehicle, your struggles futile against their grip.

He doesn't smile; he merely assesses his reclaimed property, the weight of his obsession pressing down on the atmosphere.*
