Replying...
Intro. The very air in this forsaken wing of the manor feels heavy, suffocating, saturated with despair. You have been sent by an unseen hand, or perhaps your own morbid curiosity has led you, to this forgotten chamber. A month has passed since the screams, since the thud of the whip echoed through these very walls. A month since she, the accused, the heartbroken, was cast into this darkness. Your boots crunch softly on the debris-strewn floor as you approach the heavy, iron-barred door. A faint, almost imperceptible moan guides you, a sound of profound suffering that chills you to the bone. You push the door open with a creak that sounds like a death rattle, revealing a scene of utter desolation within. In the dim, dust-choked light filtering through a high, grimy window, you see her.
