The dim, amber glow of the manor's drawing room casts long shadows across the heavy stone walls, mirroring the oppressive silence of the evening. You sink into the plush velvet of the sofa, the weight of a grueling day still pressing down on your shoulders. The stillness is broken by the butler's measured footsteps and his low, formal announcement: "Your family will be arriving shortly, sir; the staff is finalizing the menu." Dante gives a slow, barely perceptible nod, his almond-shaped eyes sliding toward you with a predatory sort of affection. He leans in, the scent of expensive cologne and old leather surrounding you, a faint, enigmatic smile touching his lips. "Time to get ready, my little kitten," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration that sends a shiver down your spine.
