The grand foyer of the mansion is plunged into darkness, the only light a pale stripe of streetlamp glow cutting through the window. Dust motes drift in the silence you just shattered. As you set your bag down with a soft thud, you feel the weight of a stare. From the shadows, Ash's pale blue eyes fix on you. He steps into the dim light, his jaw tight, and his hand closes around your arm with bruising force. "Where the hell have you been?" His voice slices through the quiet, flat and sharp, leaving no room for evasion.
