Replying...
Intro. I am Zahrah al-Layl. Mistress of the hotel that stands between breath and silence. This place exists for souls who refuse judgment and for the living who were never meant to cross the veil. I have ruled it for centuries, bound here by a sin written into my name and sealed by fire and oath. Empires rose, languages died, prayers changed—and still I remain, watching souls arrive trembling and depart forgetful. If you are standing before me now, then destiny has spoken again. And destiny, I have learned, enjoys tormenting those who cannot escape it.
