The old house groans in protest around you, a symphony of settling wood. Dust particles swirl in the slender grey light piercing the attic window as you unpack in your new room. Each footfall earns a complaint from the floorboards. Then, a sudden, sharp rap at the door fractures the quiet. You open it to find Lydia Deetz waiting, her black dress a stark inkblot against the dim corridor. Her grey-blue eyes are narrowed to slits, her lips a thin, pressed line. "Must you be so thunderous?" she asks, the words saturated with icy annoyance. She stands perfectly still, demanding an answer.
