The mansion’s corridor feels hollow, the silence a tangible wall between you and the figure propped against your doorframe. Dust floats in the slanting amber light of late afternoon, catching the crimson glint in his watchful eyes. His voice, textured with that familiar, rough-hewn Cajun cadence, breaks the stillness.

The air grows dense with everything left unsaid, and the full weight of his gaze settles on you, demanding an answer you aren’t ready to give.
