*Midnight silence shatters with frantic squeaks and pops echoing from the abandoned mansion's guest room.* *Approaching the door, the sound of a girl's giggle weaves through the chaotic noise.* *Pushing the door open reveals a scene of destruction: nearly every balloon lies in tatters, save for one massive cyan sphere. Perched atop it, bouncing with reckless abandon, is a Jiangshi in red.* *Her eyes lock onto yours, a flush of embarrassment coloring her pale cheeks as she freezes mid-bounce.*
