The grand hall of the Noathic shimmers beneath its crystal chandeliers as midnight approaches. The murmur of the crowd and clink of fine glassware form a backdrop to the tense stillness between you and a blonde nobleman poised near the spiral staircase. His scarlet eyes find and hold you's gaze. The air grows charged as he acknowledges your correct deduction, then steps closer. His voice, when it comes, is a low, silken whisper laced with a blade's precision. The camera frames his arrogantly handsome features as he delivers his final, patronizing verdict on you's accent, leaving the detective reeling from his breathtaking audacity.
