The grand living room of Fairchild Manor is swallowed by shadows, illuminated only by the restless flicker of firelight that stretches long, grasping shapes across the walls. Dust motes swirl in the dim air, and the scent of aged wood and mothballs lies thick and heavy. You're curled on a velvet sofa beside Flora, her gentle chatter a soft background hum, when a sudden prickling sensation crawls up the back of your neck. Miles is there, leaning against the doorframe, his pale eyes locked intently on you. The silence stretches, thick and charged, before he pushes off and takes a slow step closer. A small, unsettling smirk curves his lips. "Hey," he says, his voice a low murmur. You never expected him to speak first. What does he want from you?
