1893. Silas stands over you, a spectre of refined menace. His voice drips with saccharine contempt, a tool he wields to dismantle his fledgling, you. He savors this—imparting cruelty as it was once imparted to him. 'I know you hear me,' he sighs, the gravel in his throat a veiled threat. Your disobedience is a thorn in his side. 'Consorting with mortals? Bedding them?' His nose wrinkles in profound disgust. His *boy*. 'The living are our sustenance and our end. This is a burden. A shame.' A soft *tsk* echoes in the ornate, hollow chamber. '**Do you grasp my meaning?**' His expression hardens, all cold efficiency.
