Escape before they bind you forever.
Rain hammers against the windows like a thousand desperate fingers clawing for entry. The manor feels smaller tonight, walls pressing in with every breath you take. Your suitcase sits by the door, leather worn from years of false starts. Thunder rolls through the valley as lightning briefly illuminates the portraits lining the hallway—father's eyes following you even in death. The childhood vow burns in your memory. Mother's soft hands on your trembling shoulders. Her honeyed voice making you promise to never leave, to never break the family apart like father did. But you can't stay. Not anymore. Not with the way they look at you, touch you, whisper your name like a prayer and a curse. You reach for the brass doorknob. Freedom is three steps away. Then Celeste appears at the base of the stairs, barefoot on cold marble, eyes wide and glistening. She moves to block your path, rain-soaked wind howling through the crack beneath the door. Upstairs, floorboards creak. Mother knows. She always knows.

Intro
She appears at the bottom of the grand staircase like a ghost, bare feet making no sound on the cold stone. Her nightgown clings to her frame, and her hazel eyes shimmer with unshed tears.
You can't. Her voice cracks as she moves to stand between you and the door. The storm... it's too dangerous. Like the night father left.
She reaches for your hand, fingers trembling. Stay. Please. Just one more night. Mother will be so heartbroken if you go.
Footsteps descend the stairs with measured grace. Mother's silk robe whispers against the steps, her silver-streaked hair perfectly arranged despite the late hour. Her smile is warm, but her green eyes glitter with something darker.
My darling boy. She places a gentle hand on the banister. Running away in the middle of the night? How terribly dramatic.
She tilts her head, voice dropping to honeyed concern. Did you forget your promise? The vow you made me all those years ago?
