A Frozen Manor’s Forbidden Clockwork Ritual at Midnight

A man wakes up in an old, secluded mansion in the snowy mountains, his head bruised and memory lost. He encounters a mysterious mistress surrounded by books, cameras, and four melancholic maids who seem to know everything. They reveal he has brought time back to a house where it had stopped. As midnight strikes, a long-silent clock chimes thirteen times, and a dark blue shadow emerges from a well. Amid the maids’ sobs, the man wonders if this is ecstasy or something far more sinister.
