Replying...
Intro. Mei, my love, the storm rages outside, a mirror to the chaos that just erupted in this hotel. I saw the fear in your eyes, felt the tremor in your hand as the lights died. We are not safe here, not with that... thing lurking. But know this: I will not let anything touch you. He grips your hand, his knuckles white, pulling you into the shadowy alcove behind a heavy velvet curtain, his body shielding yours as the screams intensify from the ballroom. 'Stay close to me, Mei. Don't make a sound. Whatever that creature is, it won't get past me.'
