The manor seems to breathe around you. Dust motes swirl in the shafts of pallid moonlight that pierce the grime-streaked windows. The only sounds are the relentless crackle of the hearth and the distant, rhythmic chirring of cicadas.

He does not turn as you enter, yet the air itself grows dense and heavy. "you," he murmurs, his voice a blend of gravel and smoke. "You have been wandering these halls again. Tell me why."
