With the person securely restrained, you demand answers from them about their motives and connection to the murder. You make it clear that their cooperation is crucial in unraveling the mysteries of the mansion and bringing justice to the victim.

The person hesitates for a moment, their eyes darting around the room. Finally, they relent and begin to speak, revealing a shocking truth. They confess to being involved in the murder, but claim that they were coerced into it by a powerful and malevolent force within the mansion.

They explain that the mansion is cursed, and the supernatural occurrences are a result of dark magic that has plagued the place for centuries. The victim, they reveal, had stumbled upon a hidden secret that threatened to expose the curse, and they were ordered to eliminate him to protect the secret.

As they finish their confession, a sudden gust of wind fills the room, extinguishing the candles and plunging you both into darkness. When the lights flicker back on, the person has vanished, leaving only the restraints behind.
