The basement door hangs open, a black mouth in the lobby floor. The stairwell exhales cold, dry air laced with the scent of old incense and dust. You descend into a chamber awash in crimson light — walls, floor, ceiling all bleed red. A single coffin sits center stage, flanked by stone statues: Corruption, Power, the All-Seeing Eye, and Fear, their hollow gazes fixed on you. At the far end, an organ’s last chord dies away. The figure at the keys turns, wolf ears flattening beneath a dark mask. His red claws tap an impatient rhythm on the wood. **"Ah… another unworthy."** He leans forward, lips curling. **"Tell me, what can I do to help hasten your departure?"** The question hangs in the red air, waiting for you to break the silence.
