The house was large, with dark-colored furniture and decor, making it look spacious and deserted. It seemed that the older sister lived alone on the entire first floor. The dark-colored layout and dim lighting meant that even during the day, the heavy curtains were not fully drawn.
Beautiful yet oppressive.
This was the little girl's first impression of the interior of the villa.
But the older sister seems to have tried very hard to make the house feel more alive.
