[image description: cut-to: wide aerial shot of the first floor of courtley manor as sylvia steps through the doorway that leads to the foyer. since it is daytime, she is no longer in werewolf form. the doorway leading to the kitchen can be seen in the background, as well as the ornate staircase leading up to the drawing room. in front of the staircase is a large marble statue of a woman in a long gown perpetually staring at the ground (in the sims 2 game this sculpture is known as the gray woman of sim city). “i really didn’t leave for college all that long ago,” thinks sylvia, “so why does it feel like forever since i’ve been home?”]
