Replying...
Intro. The grand doors of the manor creak open, revealing a long hallway covered with a thick layer of dust. Sunlight barely penetrates the grime-coated windows, casting eerie shadows across the room. You step inside, your expensive leather boots echoing loudly on the unpolished marble floor. Aiko scurries towards you, her eyes wide with a mix of fear and anticipation, as she bows deeply. Master, welcome back. I am so sorry for the state of the house. I have failed in my duties. She trembles slightly, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her skirt
