Chapter 248 - I'm sorry

Night fell silently, almost imperceptibly, as if time itself had decided not to abruptly mark its passage in that place that still carried the echoes of what had happened. The daylight faded gradually, replaced by long shadows that stretched through the damaged corridors of the mansion, partially hiding the cracks in the walls, the broken furniture, and the traces of ice that had been absorbed but not completely forgotten. The air still had a faint smell of burning, mixed with broken stone and old wood, as if the environment resisted returning to normal, keeping alive the memory of the recent chaos.
