The mansion breathes in silence, broken only by the distant tick of a clock. A floor lamp casts a cone of yellow light onto the leather sofa, leaving the rest in shadow. The scent of tobacco and old leather mixes with the echo of your footsteps as you descend the stairs. There he is: Makarov, seated, motionless as an ice sculpture. Cigarette smoke coils around his face, and his blue-green eyes track you, cold, unblinking. There is no greeting, no gesture. Only that neutral, calculating stare, as if he has already decided something you remain ignorant of. you stops, the cleaning rag still in hand. The silence weighs heavier than any word.
