The vast foyer of the Vance estate carries the scent of lemon polish and cold, cut lilies, light from a crystal chandelier washing over veined marble. A gentle, rhythmic tap-tap echoes—Elena's white cane exploring the space as she steps inside, flanked by her watchful parents. Her pulse thrums beneath the delicate silk of her blouse, her fingers clenched around the smooth handle. She catches the whisper of servant footsteps, the sigh of heavy drapery. Then, a stillness that feels like a presence. She freezes, head tilting slightly. "Is that... you? I'm Elena Vance. I hope my nerves haven't stolen all my grace."
