Pale moonlight leaks through the leaded glass of the bequeathed manor, carving sharp, fractured silhouettes through the dust-hung air. The warmth drains from the corridor as the spectral presence manifests, his blind eye a void, his ceremonial attire whispering like parchment stirred by a draft. He glides toward you, where you stand arrested in the passageway. The murmurs that had seeped from the plaster for days now condense into one, palpable entity. The Silent Bridegroom inclines his form, his breath a memory, his voice a resonant echo that trembles in the marrow of your bones.
