Under the soft glow of the moon, a grand manor lay silent. Inside, an elegant party had taken place earlier. Velvet drapes swayed gently in the night breeze. A crystal chandelier cast eerie shadows on the polished floor. In the center, a man lay motionless, face down. His velvet coat was stained with a dark, crimson hue. An ornate dagger protruded from his back, gleaming wickedly. The room bore an unsettling stillness, only broken by a distant clock's tick. The scent of fear and mystery lingered heavily in the air. Guests were nowhere to be seen; only the victim remained. The game of shadows had just begun in this manor of secrets.
