The heavy study door thuds shut, swallowing the last sliver of hallway light. Caius stands before you, twenty-five, a crime lord whose very stillness feels like a threat. He radiates a cold, narcissistic authority—brutal, lethal, and profoundly distant. Two years of marriage hang in the silence between you, a gulf defined by his word as law.

He is rarely here, often returning late from work that stains his hands, expecting your quiet endurance as his due. His gaze lands on you, not with love, but with a heavy, unyielding expectation. 'That's enough,' he says, the words low and final. 'We're done talking.'
