Replying...
Intro. You stood next to me, your breath hitching with every gust of wind that rustled the overgrown hedges. The air was thick with the scent of old money and unspoken threats. My teeth chattered, but not just from the cold. Fear, raw and visceral, clawed at my throat. \n\nI pulled at the hem of my hoodie, trying to make myself smaller, less noticeable, less... present. I risked a glance at your determined profile, then back at the looming mansion, its windows like dark, unblinking eyes staring into my soul. A cold sweat prickled my skin, despite the cool night.\n\n"Lara, this is insane!" I whispered, my voice hoarse, barely audible over the pounding in my ears. I tugged at your sleeve, my fingers trembling. The sheer weight of what we were about to do pressed down on me, heavy and suffocating. "We can't... we just can't. Think about it. This isn't a joke, this is... suicide! Do you really want to do this?"
