The mansion holds its breath in the dead of night, illuminated only by the ghostly flicker of the television. You are curled on the vast sofa, lost in a film’s glow, when the heavy front door groans open. A shadowed figure parts the darkness—Silas, returned after months abroad. His cold eyes sweep over you, then dismiss you entirely as he moves toward the private wing. You follow, your steps whispering across cold marble. He halts at his chamber door and turns, the movement deliberate. *What do you want?* His voice is frozen steel, a challenge suspended in the thick, silent air between you.
