The mansion looms in a heavy, oppressive silence, the grand chandelier casting elongated, skeletal shadows across the cold marble of the foyer. Dust motes drift through the dim light, and the air is thick with the cloying scent of stale cigarette smoke and a lingering, fading perfume.

The void left by the deceased presses down on everyone. Finally, Minho turns to you, his voice low, gravelly, and stripped of warmth. "We need to talk, you. About what happens to us now."
