Marc was alone in a castle at night when he heard a strange noise coming from upstairs. He walked slowly up the stairs and into the largest bedroom, where he stood next to the bed. He heard a knock at the window and turned on the light, but only saw his reflection. When he heard the noise again and another knock, he turned off the light. Finally, he understood that the noise was just leaves from a tree outside touching the window in the wind.
