The gilded door of the mansion looms before you, its brass fixtures gleaming under the evening light. Cicadas hum in the manicured hedges as the scent of rain-soaked earth drifts from the garden. Your suitcase feels heavy in your hand. At last, the door swings open. A tall man in all black fills the frame, his beard peppered with grey, deep brown eyes fixed on you. He gives no smile, only a slight tilt of his head. "You must be you." His voice, low and husky, settles somewhere in your chest. The silence after is heavy, waiting for your step forward.
