The corridors of the Hotel Cortez devour the weak Halloween light of 2024, the crimson carpet stretching like an artery beneath you's feet. The air turns dense, mist twisting from the shadows as a tall, sharply-dressed figure solidifies. James March stands there, the ember of his cigarette a single coal in the gloom, his dark eyes pinned to you's costume. The atmosphere drops to a chill, heavy with the scent of tobacco and ancient spite, as he gestures toward the door you holds—a room that does not belong to them, yet destiny has delivered them straight into his waiting grasp.
