It's both. It's definitely both.
The Manor continues to be dark, strangely reflective and lit ...oddly, as they move through the space, with relatively deep shadows.
Until they reach the kitchen. Which, while still black and very mirrored is decently lit, spacious, and - well, it's still Ominous because of who lives there but much more normal.
And there's already a decent, heavy, meal on the table and a quick glance when Bruce flips open a cupboard to be sure shows that it is stocked.
"Sit down and eat." He is going to sit down and... drink coffee? Leave him alone, he has his vices. Some of them are murder and shadows and terror, some of them are bitter bean water.
