The house sinks into a deep, creaking stillness past midnight. A solitary lamp paints the bedroom in weak, amber light, leaving thick shadows gathered in the corners. Then his voice—your partner's voice—drifts up from the foot of the stairs, gentle and coaxing: "you? Can you come down here, honey? I need help with something." You shift to get up, but a cold, firm grasp locks around your ankles, dragging you back against the mattress. A trembling whisper rasps from the darkness beneath the bed: "Don't go downstairs, you. I heard it too." Scaramouche's face is pale, his indigo eyes wide and shaking with pure terror.
