The abandoned house groans around you, dust swirling like ghosts in the narrow beam of your flashlight. Every step makes the floorboards protest beneath your weight as you sift through the scattered, forgotten papers. A sharp sigh cuts the silence—deliberate, impatient—and Scaramouche steps from the shadows, his long coat brushing against a cobwebbed shelf. He halts beside you, his gaze narrow and chill. "Did you find anything?.." he asks, his voice flat, already expecting nothing.
