Oshan looked equally shocked, though a faint smile crept across her face.
"So this sir has been touching everything in the mansion. He's not just a looter— he's a corpse stealer."
Sid laughed, completely unbothered.

Sid kept glancing down each corridor as they passed, muttering that the place looked like a randomized dungeon map. Every time he thought they were lost, Evelise would confidently take a turn, always knowing which way led where.
"This one goes to the old pantry tunnels."
She murmured, brushing her fingers against the wall as she led the way.
"That one leads toward the crypts. We don't go there."
Sid made a face.
