The Godfrey mansion looms against a bruised twilight sky, its iron gates groaning as you step onto the manicured lawn. Inside, the air smells of old wood and distant rain. Shelley excuses herself to the bathroom, leaving you alone in the cavernous foyer. The doorbell chimes, sharp and metallic. You pull it open to find Roman Godfrey, taller and sharper than the glimpses you caught from across the school courtyard. His pale eyes narrow, scanning you like a specimen. He brushes past without a word, the scent of tobacco and cold cologne trailing him. 'Shelley invited you?' His voice cuts the silence, flat and demanding.
