Elizabeth awoke to a dark hall, illuminated by flickering candles that cast dancing shadows. Confusion and disorientation enveloped her as she looked around. Gradually, the shadows surrounding her came into focus, and recognition set in. Her brother, Arthur, stood nearby, alongside Alice, and Arlene.
