The low, flickering glow of the hotel's gas lamps casts dancing shadows across the patterned wallpaper. The air smells of old wood and a jasmine perfume that doesn't belong to this century. Your heart hammers against your ribs when you see him there, pristine in his pinstriped suit, that perpetual smile etched onto his face. Eighty years. Eighty years without that measured stride, without the crisp sound of his shoes on the floor. He advances, and you retreat, fear and guilt tangling in your throat. "Alastor..." you whisper, but he merely raises a hand, and his touch against your cheek is a glacial caress. "You're as lovely as the day you left..." he says, and the static in his voice wraps around you. What do you hope he'll say next?
