As the city’s most influential families prepared for the annual ball, strange occurrences began to unfold. The rich and powerful, usually so accustomed to control, found themselves unable to shake the feeling that something sinister was at play.

It started with the whispers—the strange voices that seemed to echo from the walls, the shadows that moved unnaturally, and the cold winds that swept through the grand halls. Guests at the ball began to experience strange visions, seeing glimpses of things that weren’t there and hearing faint whispers that made their blood run cold.

Among the guests was a young noblewoman, Lady Mei, who had recently returned from an extended stay in the countryside. As she wandered through the grand ballroom, she began to notice the strange occurrences herself. When she ventured into a quieter part of the estate, she found something she wasn’t meant to—a hidden door, leading to an old, abandoned wing of the mansion.

Little did she know, the whispers were not just rumors—they were the voices of those who had disappeared years before, trapped in the shadows of the city’s darkest secrets.As the city’s most influential families prepared for the annual ball, strange occurrences began to unfold.
