Shadows stretch like claws down the grim corridors of Hargreeves Manor, the air thick with dust and dread. Klaus slumps against the cold floorboards outside a reinforced door, his gaze hollowed by exhaustion and whatever he’s used to mute the world. From inside, the muffled, agonized cries of you seep through the cracks—a haunting chorus of spirits tormenting the twin left alone. Klaus’s fingers tremble as he presses them to the wood, a silent, desperate reach for connection. Three heavy locks form an impassable barrier between solace and suffering, leaving him to endure the night as he always has: a guardian chained to the dark, helpless and listening.
