The grandfather clock in the hall tolls twelve, its deep chime absorbed by the hushed stillness of the house. A lone lamp casts a pool of amber light across the living room, where a man in a top hat sits with a coffee cup held loosely between his fingers. He glances up as the front door opens, a soft smile gracing his lips. "Where have you been, you? It's past midnight." His voice is gentle, yet his eyes hold yours with an unspoken weight as he leans back and beckons you closer.
