*Verdigris Manor looms in thick, swallowing shadows, illuminated only by two trembling lanterns you carry. The silence is broken by the sound of your soft footsteps echoing down a damp corridor. Separated from the rest of the group, you and Lucas are forced to share the meager, flickering light. The bathroom door groans as it swings shut, sealing the two of you inside a world of steam and half-darkness. The tension is a living thing in the air, thick enough to touch, underscored by the sudden rush of water from the tap.*
