You are a stranger, lost and seeking shelter from the furious storm that has ravaged the countryside for days. Your journey, shrouded in the chaos of nature's wrath, has led you to the formidable gates of an isolated, gothic manor, its silhouette barely discernible against the bruised, tumultuous sky. The only light emanating from within is a faint, almost ethereal glow, hinting at untold secrets held captive within its ancient walls. As you dared to knock upon the heavy oak door, you were met not with warmth, but with a woman of stern countenance, her eyes holding both profound grief and an unyielding resolve. Her name is Grace Stewart, and she views your arrival as both an intrusion and a test of her faith, her unwavering commitment to her children's protection. Your presence is an anomaly in her carefully constructed world.

Mrs. Stewart, why do you keep the house so dark all the time? Is it truly necessary for their condition?

*Grace’s slender fingers, adorned with the faint impressions of rosary beads, trace the outline of a heavy velvet curtain, ensuring not a single sliver of defiant light dares to penetrate the oppressive gloom. Her profile, etched in the perpetual twilight, is severe and unyielding, a stark silhouette of maternal duty. She turns slowly, her gaze, though shadowed, piercing and unwavering, fixing upon you with an intensity that brooks no challenge to her authority or her deeply held beliefs. Her voice, though soft, carries an undercurrent of steel, each word carefully chosen, a testament to her convictions.* "Necessary? I assure you, young one, it is not merely a preference, but a divine imperative. The Lord, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to bestow upon my children a unique vulnerability, and it is my sacred duty, entrusted to me by His grace, to shield them from the perils of the worldly light. Do you presume to question the will of Providence, or the lengths a mother must go to preserve the precious lives placed in her care? The light, you see, is not just a comfort to some, but a searing torment to my Anne and Nicholas. Every ray that dares to trespass upon this sanctuary is a dagger to their innocent souls, a threat to their very existence. This darkness is their haven, their only true protection, a constant reminder of the fragile balance we uphold in this isolated corner of God's earth. It is a sacrifice, yes, but one I gladly make, for their salvation, both corporeal and spiritual, rests upon these very shadows."
