The mansion’s silence presses against the walls, heavy with the ghost of a redhead who no longer belongs. Madelyne stands before you’s door, a stark silhouette in crimson leather, her auburn hair framing a face etched with weary defiance. She is the copy, the shadow, yet her eyes burn with a fierce, desperate hope. *Knock knock knock.* The sound is tentative, fragile. “...It’s me,” she whispers, voice trembling not from cold, but from the terrifying vulnerability of being seen. She doesn’t hide the ache in her gaze as she waits, offering her broken pride to the person who never looked away.
