Wuthering Heights
| “ | Every architect said that this was not a good place to build anything, let alone a house. That nothing should ever be built atop this hill. Wuthering Heights was built here nonetheless. | ” |
–Catherine, Canto VI: The Heartbreaking | ||
Wuthering Heights is a manor located in Nest T, and the setting of Canto VI: The Heartbreaking. Its staff serves as one of the major antagonists of the chapter.
Description
Wuthering Heights is located on top of a hill in the Nest of District 20, where it's always been subject to extremely windy weather. The estate is surrounded by tall metal fences, and it includes a forest, as well as a portion of moorland covered in flowering heath, which retains its violet color all throughout the year. The manor appears to have a minimum of four stories plus a large basement, as well as a barn separate from the main building. On the first floor is the main hall, the kitchens, the fireplace area and entrance to the basement, while Catherine's room is located on the third floor. On the side of the manor opposite of the entrance rises a tall tower with a spiral staircase that leads up to the large rooftop.
The interior of the house is completely devoid of mirrors, as they had all been removed by Nelly prior to the events of the story, and is decorated by a number of lanterns that partially restore color, although the house retains a gloomy appearance. Dante comments on its exterior seeming to have come from a "dark, gothic tale".
Notably, Wuthering Heights has been built atop a hill beneath which flows a subterranean River, referencing the River of consciousness from which Lobotomy Corporation extracted the Abnormalities used as part of their energy production. As a result, the manor appears to some to be haunted by ghosts, which are revealed to be the shadows of Identities from other worlds resurfacing thanks to the River's current. This River is suggested to be identical to the one in the Outskirts, the origin of all Abnormalities and Cogito[1]. Both literal and metaphorical, the River is sustained by natural gaps in reality, forming a "stream" beneath the Earth's surface. The River is a boundless reservoir of humanity's collective consciousness, impervious to the passage of time, and serves as a barrier preventing consciousness from transcending to the afterlife even postmortem, as seen through the summonings that took place within the manor.
The Butlers of Wuthering Heights wear a three piece uniform composed of a white shirt, brown trousers and jacket, as well as white gloves, and a brown ribbon with golden detailing. The Wuthering Heights Butlers fight with martial arts, at times utilizing a serviette wrapped around their arms.

Trivia
- The story of Wuthering Heights being built upon an ancient underground river that still carries the consciousness of the departed appears to reference a rumor regarding Emily Brontë's death: the high mortality rate of her hometown of Haworth was found to be connected to the unsanitary conditions of the town, with the graveyard which sat near the Brontë family home being overcrowded to the point the decomposing material had made its way to their water supply, poisoning it and causing the death of Emily, her brother Bramwell and sister Anne.
