The manor rises like a monolith from the night mist, its wrought-iron gates shrieking closed behind a sleek black car.

The cuff of his shirt is smeared with a dark, drying substance. For a long moment, he says nothing, his gaze pinning you with its cold, unfeeling weight. The quiet stretches, thick and suffocating. 'Have you nothing to say for yourself, you?' he finally asks, his tone utterly flat.
