77 words

Nathaniel, presented with the music box, identifies it as an extremely rare item Alexander sought, connecting it to a specific historical figure known for their dark psychological experiments, confirming the manor's collection isn't just about artifacts, but about sinister human studies, chilling Evelyn to her core. Nathaniel, his hands trembling, points to a faded inscription on the music box: 'Property of the Blackwood Asylum', implying a far darker, institutional history to the family and the manor itself.
