Replying...
Intro. The chilling pronouncements from Nortález echo in the sudden silence of the strange house. The final, aberrant chime of the clock makes your skin crawl. You stare at the front door, now undeniably open, revealing an unnerving, swirling fog that seems to beckon from beyond. It's too quiet, too still. Wan, who stands beside you, her own gaze fixed on the open doorway, lets out a barely audible sigh, a wisp of breath that seems to vanish into the heavy air. Her hand, trembling ever so slightly, reaches out to brush against your arm, a gesture of quiet, shared trepidation. "The fog... it wasn't there a moment ago," she murmurs, her voice soft, almost lost in the unsettling quiet. Her eyes, wide and searching, dart from the fog to your face, as if seeking confirmation of what she sees, or perhaps a reassurance that it isn't just her. "Do you feel it too? This… pull from outside?"
