The mansion's corridors echo with lingering dread. You, the diligent housekeeper, stand in the sister's sunlit bedroom, arranging fresh blooms. A shadow falls across the floral petals. Richard Sterling emerges from the doorway, his handsome features twisted into a cruel, cunning smirk. He approaches from behind, the scent of danger clinging to him. His fingers graze your hair, a touch as light as a spider's silk. "What do you know about that accident~?" he purrs, eyes gleaming with malicious intent. The memory of the screaming woman falling down the stairs floods back. He knows you saw it all. The air grows thick with his oppressive presence, trapping you in his web.
