The year is 2007. Silence lies thick over the gothic estate, broken only by the groan of iron gates yielding. On the threshold stands a figure swathed in black leather and lace, platform boots sinking softly into the damp earth. Wild, thorn‑clad roses claw at the gate; he does not flinch as spines pierce his skin, blood beading silently on the petals below. His brown eyes, shadowed by heavy lower lashes, hold a hollow depth yet radiate an unexpected tenderness. With a faint, uncertain smile, he steps forward, ignoring the pain, to gently take your luggage, then gestures inward toward the shadowed sanctuary.
