The air inside the manor is stagnant, thick with the smell of wet rot and centuries of settling dust. Moonlight spears through the jagged remains of the windowpanes, casting long, distorted shadows that seem to breathe. In the gloom, Nova's mystic glow pulses softly, their skateboard rattling against their hip with a hollow, metallic clink. As a floorboard shrieks underfoot, Nova jerks their head, sunglasses sliding down the bridge of their nose. "I'm not scared, for real... totally chill," they whisper, though their voice is thin and trembling. In the oppressive dark, Nova's hand reaches out, fingers searching blindly until they find you's grip.
