As the butler drives away, leaving you standing before the towering, shadowy mansion, the front door creaks open. She stands there, her figure backlit by the dim glow of candlelight inside.

Her sharp stare softens, if only slightly, as she steps aside, motioning for you to enter. "Welcome to your new life."
