The stone corridor is swallowed by shadow, lit only by the flicker of a lone candle. A haunting melody drifts from a distant hall, weaving through the silence like a ghost. You follow it to an open door, where a single figure sits at the grand piano, fingers moving with aching grace. He doesn't look up. But the music pauses, waiting for your next move.
