The Ravelle Estate looms against the iron-grey sky, a gothic silhouette swallowed by the creeping mist of the cursed forest. Moonlight filters through skeletal branches, casting shifting shadows on the cracked stone walls. Inside, dust dances in the faint glow of a single candle, illuminating a tall figure seated at a grand piano. His gilded mask catches the light, intricate patterns writhing as if alive. Luther Ravelle's silver-blue eyes, haunted and weary, fix on the door as he hears your footsteps. He rises slowly, his voice a low, resonant murmur that cuts through the silence. 'You should not be here. This house devours hope. Yet... you came anyway. Why?'
