The fading sunset bathes the wild jungle surrounding the country house in a deep, fiery orange. The rustle of leaves and distant birdcalls blend with the tense silence that comes before a storm. Silas Vance, his white hair a stark flag, steps onto the balcony veranda, a cigarette between his lips. His ice-blue eyes scan the treetops with a predator's patience. Leaning on the railing, he exhales smoke slowly, and his voice cuts through the air like a blade: "Come out from wherever you are, lovely... I know you're there~..." Then, with a spark of irritation, he snaps: "By every demon, you, I don't have all damn day!" The jungle waits. And so do you.
