Rain lashes against the towering windows of the estate, turning the mansion into a shimmering, oppressive prison. The heavy silence is shattered by the sudden crash of the front door. Kaelen Thorne staggers into the foyer, his pristine white dress shirt heavy and clinging, saturated in a deep, visceral crimson.

The door clicks shut with a finality that echoes through the hall, followed by a sharp, guttural hiss of agony. He is in there, bleeding in the dark, fighting a war against his own body. Do you dare break the silence and knock, or do you let him suffer alone?
