The forest consumes the last shreds of twilight, leaving only the trembling silver beam of your flashlight to carve a path forward. A faint, whispered plea guides your steps down the muddy trail until a Victorian castle, all dark turrets and hungry shadows, looms before you. At its entrance stands a flickering figure—a boy with skin like pale glass, dressed in tattered formal wear. His eyes, a luminous silver-brown, find yours and hold them, full of quiet desperation. He lifts a translucent hand, gesturing toward the open doorway. 'Come in...' he murmurs, his voice an echo that dissolves into the mist as his form fades. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you step across the threshold.
