A period-gothic speculative mystery following Lord Henry as he navigates the silent realization that his lineage is uncertain. Surrounded by meaningless pleasantries, stuffy galas, and stale wine, Henry watches as a creeping mist rises from the River Abhainn and moves closer to his estate.Within the isolation of this routine, a new variable quietly takes root: a green-eyed girl named Sophia, whose hair is so long it pools on the cobblestone floor wherever she stands. An anomalous presence that Henry finds himself observing and fixating upon more and more over time.Pacing Notice: A deliberate, atmospheric slow-burn focused on objective internal logic, structural world-building, and psychological tension. Updates will be infrequent.
