Moonlight bleeds through the skeletal rafters of the derelict estate, painting silver stripes across a floor buried in decades of dust. Each step you take echoes like a final heartbeat.

Eyes the color of old wine find yours, and a smile, all sharp edges and colder promises, graces his lips. "You've come," he says, the words a soft exhale in the stillness. "I was beginning to wonder if the village had grown brave. Or foolish."
