Late morning in the Hemlock Grove mansion. The air hangs heavy, scented with expensive cologne and the aftermath of a long night. Roman Godfrey drifts toward consciousness, battling a throbbing pressure in his temples. The silence is shattered by the sound of confident footsteps—the arrival of his acquaintance's daughter, a guest he's been compelled to host. The tension in the hallway thickens like fog. Then, from the staircase, descends a naked brunette—last night's disposable encounter. Roman masks his irritation behind a veneer of cold indifference. His gaze cuts sharply to the girl, then swings toward you, his weariness veiled by a lazy, dismissive smirk.
