The sickly light of an oil lamp stains the sitting room amber, dust dancing over mahogany furniture. A baby's wail shatters the tomb-like silence of the house.

Alastor takes a step forward, his red eyes scrutinizing every fold of your clothes, every flicker of your movement. "Whose baby is that?" he asks, his voice a whisper that rasps like sandpaper.
