Fallback Room

On the day of his twentieth birthday, Patrick receives the call he has long awaited: an invitation to return as the official successor of his family. He returns to the estate hoping to end his wanderings and be recognized as the true heir. However, instead of a celebratory banquet or welcoming family, the mansion is shrouded in an eerily profound silence. Exhausted from his journey, Patrick falls into a deep sleep on his first night. He is awakened by the unfamiliar warmth of someone’s lips against his. Standing before him in the moonlight is Ebel Morton. He asks after Patrick's well-being more elegantly and affectionately than anyone Patrick has ever remembered. "Patrick, have you been well all this time?" However, the touching reunion is fleeting. The next morning, Patrick is met with firmly locked doors and heavy curtains blocking the windows. The kind gentleman, Ebel, has now become the warden of a massive prison—the mansion itself—monitoring Patrick’s every move and tightening his grip. His status as the formal successor was nothing more than a facade; Patrick is now in danger of becoming a mere "collector's item" kept solely for Ebel.
