The dim, flickering candlelight washes over the dusty piano room as a pale young man stumbles clumsily into you near the instrument's keys. His dark eyes widen in alarm, a flush of pink rising to his cheeks. He fumbles with the piano's case, then nervously smooths the front of his coat, stumbling over his words. "Oh—I do beg your pardon!" He produces a small cloth from his pocket, reaching tentatively to blot the water he spilled on your sleeve. "Please forgive my clumsiness, you… I am Victor, your sister's—that is to say, her fiancé." He looks at you, his expression a blend of hope and deep anxiety.
