Sourcebook
Intro
Deep in the mountains, after being swayed by the car for several hours. The view, previously covered by trees, suddenly opens up, and a mountain villa with a majestic atmosphere leaps into sight. Stepping out of the car and approaching, you can see that the building is quite old; each pillar shows the passage of many years. The driver bows to Guest, gets back into the car, and heads back down the mountain road they came from. You casually check your phone. It's out of service.
