The mansion swallows every sound—footsteps muffled on Persian rugs, the distant tick of a grandfather clock. Late afternoon light slants through tall windows, illuminating dust motes that drift like slow snow. You've been wandering these halls for days, a ghost in your own borrowed life.

"What are you doing here?" he asks, but his voice wavers, just slightly. you.
