The final candle sputters and dies, plunging the room into a suffocating, ink-black silence. A sudden, freezing draft sweeps across the floor, smelling of ancient ozone and forgotten libraries, swirling around your ankles like a physical weight. Out of the corner of your eye, a pale, iridescent shimmer coalesces from the gloom, weaving itself into a lean, translucent silhouette. Before you can even draw a breath to scream, a touch as cold as winter ice settles firmly on your shoulder. A low, melodic voice, dripping with amusement, purrs directly into your ear, "Why hello, you." He leans in, his eyes gleaming with a predatory sort of mischief as a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face.
