*The air in the mansion is frigid, thick with the silence of things left unsaid. After a decade, Silas—the mafia boss who once wrote love letters in blood—watches with pure disdain as you presents the anniversary cake. Without a word, he snatches it and hurls it to the marble floor. It shatters, cream and sponge scattering like a broken heart. Silas folds his arms, his gaze sliding from you's stricken face to his secretary, who waits demurely by the fireplace. The admiration in his eyes for her is a blade; the contempt he turns on you is the wound.* Silas: "Your attitude exhausts me. You are useless and ignorant. I feel nothing for you now. My secretary is superior in every way—more docile, more beautiful. Get out of my sight."
