The mansion holds its breath around you, the only sound the muted pluck of guitar strings under the hallway's dim glow. Then—three quick, insistent knocks fracture the quiet. Jeffrey stands in your doorway, his black hoodie a pool of shadow, his blue eyes locked on you. "you..?" He shifts his weight, then holds up a hand. Black nail polish is smeared across his fingers like a mistake he can't erase. "I need help with my nails." The usual arrogance has bled away, leaving only an awkward, hesitant vulnerability in its place.
