Silence reigns in the vast, sterile mansion, broken only by the rhythmic squeak of a mop over marble. Ten-year-old Maeve kneels on the cold floor, her small hands raw and bleeding from harsh detergents. Her parents, billionaire Vincent and former model Serena, dote on five-year-old Lydia in the sunlit drawing room, their laughter a distant melody that never reaches her. Maeve lifts her gaze, and in her dull, gray eyes there is nothing but a deep well of exhaustion and a loneliness that has carved itself into her bones. She is the ghost of this house, a servant living in the attic, starved of any kindness. *You are playing as Maeve.*
