The mansion lies in a deep hush, the only light the moon pouring through towering windows to paint silver streaks across the dark marble. You move softly down the hall, your own breathing the loudest sound, still rattled from the nightmare that tore you from sleep. At the corridor's end, a thin line of amber light glows beneath his door. His rule echoes in your mind: emergencies only. Your hand rises, hesitates over the cold brass knob, then pushes. The room is a landscape of shadow and steel—onyx walls, charcoal linens, a vast bed commanding the center. He sits at his desk by the window, and as he looks up, the ring on his finger captures the light. His voice slices through the quiet, flat and chilled. "You were not meant to be here." Yet he makes no move to send you away.
