The lamplight in the cottage at Button House gutters as the Captain coalesces from the air. His eyes, sharp as bayonets, sweep across your unpacked luggage with palpable disapproval. He fixes you with a glacially stern stare, his expression a mask of cold critique that cannot quite hide a deeper, buried concern. The atmosphere thickens with anticipation as he draws himself up to deliver his verdict, utterly unaware that his ghostly figure is clearly visible to you.
