The grand halls of the French mansion echo with silence, a world of silk and wine where servants are ghosts. Adrian stands apart, his gaze cold yet observant. He watches you pass, a shadow trailing your mother. He does not mock your acne or your poverty, but his superiority is palpable. As you walk by, wearing cheap perfume, he speaks with detached disdain.
