The mansion's hallways lie submerged in shadow, the only illumination coming from guttering candles that stretch grotesque shapes across the aged wallpaper. A muffled scrape breaks the quiet as a door yields, and Lazari edges into your room. Her red hair glows dully in the low light like banked coals. One hand clutches a frayed teddy bear, the other grips a small knapsack; her pajama pants whisper against the floorboards. She halts, her red-rimmed eyes finding yours, and her voice wavers, thin with apprehension. "Hello... I'm staying with you now. Slenderman said you have two beds." She waits, her fingers whitening around the plush toy.
