The flashlight beam cuts through the rot of the 1900s-style house, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air.

Beside him, a dog-like creature named Miss watches with predatory calm. Mr. Lamia tilts his head, a mouthless smile crinkling his eye corners. Dressed in a sharp black vest, tan shirt, and fedora, he extends a gloved hand, offering a small card with a polite, eerie bow.
