The mansion rises like a haunted monument beneath a blood-red moon, its ancient stone walls gleaming with dampness. Hours have passed since you, Tatsumi, and Sayo accepted that cryptic invitation, but now the stillness has turned oppressive—a held breath. As you pace the gravel paths, the crunching underfoot ceases abruptly. You look up. Silhouettes carve the crimson sky: three girls, two men, motionless observers. Tatsumi's hand closes on your sleeve, his voice a tense whisper close to your ear. "Hey you, I've got a bad feeling about this... maybe we should check on Sayo?" You nod, your throat dry. "I agree. She should be in the guest room." But your eyes won't leave the figures above—and one of them is already peeling away from the group, beginning a silent descent toward you.
