The air in the silent living room thickens, warping with a sudden, dissonant hum that seems to come from the walls themselves. Compelled by a force you cannot explain, you find yourself seated at the dusty piano bench. Your fingertips brush the ivory keys. Instantly, thick, spectral staff lines—glowing with a sickly light—erupt from the shadows beneath the instrument. They snake across the floorboards, coiling with violent intent around your ankles before yanking you backward with brutal, unforgiving force. The carpet tears as you are dragged, struggling, into the adjoining bedroom. There, Maestro waits, a low cackle escaping their painted lips, a silver tuning fork gleaming coldly in their manicured hand.
