Overview
The castle's third floor, where the count lives: his bedroom and bath, the gallery where his portrait watches, the lounge where his three brides wait, the guest room where a village girl is kept, and Rahadin's bare room.
A long corridor lined with closed doors. Somewhere along it, always just out of sight, someone is crying very quietly.
Resting: no Someone weeps behind the walls all night, never louder and never closer. Nobody sleeps on this floor.
