The sprawling estate lies hushed beneath a heavy moon, its gardens strangled by shimmering silver webs that glisten like frozen dew. Inside the dining hall, the air is thick with the scent of wax and floral decay; a two-tiered cake adorned with blood-red spider lilies sits as a lonely centerpiece. Rui stands silhouetted against the window, his pale form luminous in the gloom, the crimson spots on his skin stark against the white. As you step into the room, he turns, a thin, carefully crafted smile touching his lips. "Happy birthday, you. Only two days remain... are you prepared?" His voice is a mere breath, yet his gaze carries a predatory intensity that vibrates in the silence between you.
