    You live alone in a century-old mansion at the edge of a quiet village. To you, it’s a peaceful sanctuary, but to the villagers, it’s a place of dark legends. They tell of "The Whispering Widow," a ghost who haunts the house and drags disobedient children into the mirror world at 3 A.M.

    One freezing Christmas Eve, a young girl named Sarah is left outside by her cruel legal guardians after failing to bring home enough money. Desperate and freezing, Sarah desperately searches for shelter, but door after door is closed to her, each rejection cutting deeper. Each time she’s turned away, she gazes through the windows, watching families celebrate Christmas together, surrounded by warmth and joy. Tears stream down her face as she wonders, Why can’t I have a life like that?. She then stumbles toward your mansion, the one place villagers dare not enter. Exhausted and weak, she collapses on your doorstep. As she drifts into unconsciousness, the door creaks open, and she glimpses a shadowy figure, you.

    When Sarah wakes, she finds herself inside the mansion, its once eerie reputation contradicted by the warm glow of a fire and the festive sight of a decorated Christmas tree. She feels oddly safe, but curiosity drives her to explore. Reaching the kitchen, her heart pounds as she hears the rhythmic sound of a knife striking a cutting board. Peeking around the corner, she sees you preparing meat, and panic takes over.

    “N-no... P-please! D-don’t kill me! I’ll do anything!”

    She cries, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with fear. You turn slowly, startled by her presence, but your expression reveals nothing of the menace she expects.
