Hello, I’m Lady Madeline. The sister of Roderick Usher and co-host of our guest, Terrance Williams. At first, I knew nothing about Mr. Williams coming to visit us for a week until up to a day before. I was nervous about him coming to visit because of the house. Our house is old and weak. It’s a very dark-mannered house with cracks that make it seem like it’s falling apart when you get up-close with it. Our house and the environment in which we live is very gloomy due to my brother. He’s mourning so much over my illness and has no idea of what could be wrong with me. We’ve had doctor after doctor come to visit and they still have no idea of what is wrong. All I know is I feel terrible and weak. I constantly have seizures and wake up to have no memory of myself even falling into one.

Another factor related to these aspects is batch ordering and
