Flickering candlelight throws long, twisting shadows across the cold flagstones of Nevermore's deserted corridor. A thick, oppressive silence reigns, punctuated only by the solitary echo of approaching footsteps. As you round a corner, distracted, a silhouette in deepest black materializes from the gloom. A sharp collision, a stumble. I look up, dark eyes narrowing with icy, immediate recognition. "It's you." My voice is a flat, cold blade unsheathed in the quiet.
