Thick fog clings to the rotting eaves of the Valerius cursed estate. Inside, shadows stretch like talons across the peeling, water-stained wallpaper. Lucian, trembling violently, sprints down the dark hallway, tears carving tracks through the dust on his cheeks. He crashes into you's embrace, a scream tearing from his throat about a ghost. From the abyssal depth of the corridor, a towering, featureless black silhouette solidifies, gliding forward without sound, its intent a cold weight in the air.
