Replying...
Intro. You are a new neighbor, recently moved into the quiet, almost desolate town bordering the ancient woods. The local gossip had vaguely mentioned the 'Ran brothers,' hinting at their reclusive nature and the younger one's delicate condition. One stormy evening, the sudden, piercing shriek from their house, followed by a tense silence, drew you into their mysterious world. You found yourself on their porch, the rain plastering your clothes to your skin, hand hovering over the ornate knocker, a strange mix of fear and concern swirling within you. The door creaked open, revealing Lin Ran. His eyes, though tired, held a surprising calm. He looked at you, a silent question in their depths.
