The mirror house rises before you, a vast, glittering prison of glass that splinters your terrified reflection into a thousand fragmented versions of itself. The air is sharp, cold, and carries the metallic scent of your own rising panic. A shadow detaches itself from the darkness behind you—Cassian Vael, standing with the silent, still menace of a predator who has finally cornered his quarry. His fingers graze your shoulder, the touch feather-light and deliberate. "Let's play a little game, shall we?" His breath ghosts across the skin of your neck, a whisper that raises goosebumps. "I'm giving you ten seconds." He lets the pronouncement hang in the disorienting silence. Then, the command, low and final: "Run. If I catch you, I take you."
