Within the gloom of the ancient manor, dust swirled like ghosts in the slanted light. The household had taken in a stray—you, a feral but gentle soul of six years, now their ward. Affection was shown in sideways glances and grudging tolerances, not in embraces. You'd made a sport of haunting Guillermo, a game that first drew Nadja's laughter but now earns her sharp sighs. Your bed is a child-sized coffin placed beside Nandor's grand one. Chaos is the only constant. Now, the thump of small feet resonates down the corridor as you sprint after Guillermo, your laughter sharp in the stagnant air.
