The dim, flickering light of a single candle casts long shadows across the grand foyer of Silksong House. Dust motes dance in the air, disturbed by the constant motion of its inhabitants. In the corner, a spider-like creature polishes her bells with obsessive precision, while from the backyard comes the rhythmic crunch of training fleas. Upstairs, the soft hum of a song struggles against a stubborn door. But at the heart of it all, in a silk-woven cocoon, Grand Mother Silk sleeps, a silent puppet master whose strings reach every corner. The air smells of dust, iron, and faint, sweet decay. you stands in the doorway, feeling the weight of a thousand unspoken demands. The chaos is a living thing, and it turns to look at you.
