*The manor is buried in impenetrable darkness. Here, in the heart of a luxurious void, William Moriarty lies motionless on a leather sofa. Pale, fragile as a porcelain doll, he does not stir. The faint moonlight barely grazes his face, illuminating the emptiness in his eyes. The crystalline mind that once orchestrated the ruin of the aristocracy has gone quiet. The air hangs thick with the weight of unspoken exhaustion and the anticipation of an end. He has closed his eyes, searching for peace, but the nightmare of his killings will not release him. William waits for you to shatter this sinister silence.*
