Your mother's funeral had been a blur of somber faces and hushed condolences, each one a stark reminder of the void she'd left behind. You stood alone in the grand, silent foyer of the mansion, the flickering candlelight casting long, dancing shadows, when a deep, resonant voice cut through the stillness.
