​

You and the party climb the twin staircases. ​

The further upward you move, the thicker the air seems to become. Three-quarters up the staircase, a wafting mist begins to appear. As you approach the balcony, you and the party enter a set of doors.​

~ threnody of a forgotten thinker​

​

You reach the upper floor of the haunted house.​

​

The mist here seems to be fairly thin, but still present. Yet, you cannot shake off the odd sensation you receive from this floor. It is as if your head is being buffeted by a heaviness, and your thoughts seem cloudy. You seem to hear some sort of dull whistling - almost like white noise. It may simply be the wind, but occasionally you feel you can hear voices. But it is probably just your imagination.​

​

Though there is a mist, you can see relatively well. The passage here seems fairly different from the first floor. The floor, made of a speckled wood, feels very solid, but is scattered with holes that lead to dark spaces.​

​

The walls are made of a combination of gilded white stone and intricately carved wood motifs. Complex patterns give way to gilded marble Thinker statues, inlaid into the walls and still without their heads. The lamps remain unlit and darken the hallway, save for one or two. You look up, and you do not see the ceiling - only an inky shadow.​

​

This baroque corridor is not very large, but enough to fit your party. On your left is a large arched window. Farther along the corridor to your right is a single door, while a large set of plain cast-iron doors seem to be at the corridor's end. ​

​

Neku shivers behind you, and Saxima puts an arm on his shoulder to comfort him.​

Vivi boisterously states that they should look for sleeping quarters tonight.​

Commands​

Though you assume the whistling is just your imagination, you find that it begins to bother you more and more with each passing second. You nervously scan your surroundings. Darkness. Mist. Statues. Shadows. You shiver and anxiously press your lips together in a thin line. Though Vivi is the first to mention something about finding a place to sleep, he's not moving any more than the rest of you are. Everything is just so unnerving.

A breeze tickles at your arms and the whistling grows louder, though no one else seems to notice. You swear you can hear words. They're just muffled by the wind and the groans of the house. Can the others hear them? What are the voices saying? ...No, it's your imagination. It's got to be your imagination. That's right, then. Time to find somewhere to sleep--

​

You flinch, stumbling back into Vivi who recoils and shoves you off of him.

|| Vivi ||

「Watch it, kid! What's your problem?!」

|| You ||

「D-did you guys hear that? Did you hear the whistles? The sounds? The voices?」

You're shaking. Your heartbeat is rapid and uneven in your chest, and the oblivious stares being given to you you make it worse. Are you going crazy?

You brush yourself off and make a move to stand. When you do, you hear and earsplitting crack!, and find your hand slipping down into one of the various holes of the floor. Your breath catches in your throat and your stomach flips. As you find more and more of your body being engulfed in the darkness below, you desperately reach your opposite hand out.
