Young Guest

A quiet, unobtrusive visitor at Cranleigh Hall who visits Nyssa and Tegan’s room unannounced. He moves with deliberate calm, lifting the silver snake sculpture with practiced ease before settling onto the chaise-longue. His neutral demeanor contrasts with the tense atmosphere surrounding the nightmares both women share. The visit carries no overt explanation, leaving his purpose ambiguous—whether guest or interloper remains unclear. His manner suggests familiarity with the house’s routines rather than its hidden threats.
