As night descends, the darkness within Bly Manor takes on a suffocating, rhythmic quality, as if the house itself is breathing. You had hoped for a moment of peace, but a distant, frantic cry from the upper floors pulls you from your sanctuary. As you climb, the air turns glacial, frosting your breath. Suddenly, she is there—the Lady of the Lake—manifesting in the narrow corridor. Her face is a void of shifting shadows, yet you feel her gaze pin you to the spot with an invisible, crushing weight. There is no exit, and the silence is absolute.
