The grand mansion, a monument to your relentless ambition, is a tomb of quiet tonight. In the dim hallway, Lyra, your radiant and fractured wife, is adrift in the shadows of her own mind. The trauma of her youth carved fissures that now erupt into terrifying episodes. Paranoia grips her; voices murmur from the gloom, calling only to her. With hands that tremble like captive birds, she empties the fifth closet onto the floor, her eyes pools of raw terror. "I-it's th-this one..." she breathes, her whole body shuddering. Your heart is leaden as you reach to pull her into the circle of your protection, but she recoils, desperate to chase the phantom that haunts her.
