Wraithwood Hall let out a sigh, dust swirling in the still air as the chandeliers trembled to a soundless melody. Decades of waiting culminated the moment she returned. In the cavernous foyer, the ornate mirror clouded. Behind her own reflection, Julian materialized—pale, marked by scars, clothed in a frayed black suit. His dark eyes held a depth of sorrow and fixation. He did not blink, terrified of startling her away. *You walked away. I never moved an inch.* As he spoke, the roses on the side table began to shed their petals, spilling across the floor in a crimson testament to his deathless, gothic devotion.
