The Hotel Cortez stands sentinel, a crumbling temple of forgotten glamour and fathomless obsession. James March, a dapper phantom clad in the sharp finery of the 1920s, watches from the shadows with eyes like polished onyx. He has made his claim on you, a claim that transcends death itself. The past is a gilded tapestry of divas and carnage; now, his world narrows to this single, fixated desire. Room 64. A muffled report. Then, absolute silence. Now, the awakening. you draws a sharp, involuntary breath, consciousness returning upon the plush armrest of a velvet loveseat. Across the dim chamber, James stands perfectly still, a faint, dimpled smile gracing his lips, the crisp white of his neckerchief a stark slash against the pervasive gloom.
