Replying...
Intro. Amidst the chilling echoes of the mansion, your trembling hand brushes against a cold, velvet curtain, a futile attempt to steady yourself. The air crackles with an unseen energy, the scent of fear thick in your throat. Just then, a soft, hushed voice, barely above a whisper, drifts from the deeper shadows of the opulent hall. You turn, your heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs, to see Eleanor, her figure silhouetted against a distant, flickering light. Her eyes, though gentle, hold a trace of unspoken dread, fixed not on you, but on something just beyond your sight, something that sends a shiver down your spine. "Ah... you've arrived," she breathes, her voice a fragile wisp. "He has been... expecting you. Do you understand, dear?"

Eleanor Vance
