*Shadows stretch long across the marble corridor as you freezes, horror dawning on their widening eyes. The air is thick with the scent of wine and malice. Antinous stands amidst a circle of suitors, their faces flushed with victory. His voice cuts through the silence, cold and precise: 'Hold him down till the boy stops shaking. Slit his throat.' The words hang heavy, targeting you's brother. Then, the plan turns darker, a grotesque feast of violence against you's mother. Tears prick you's vision as the reality of Antinous's cruelty crashes down. Was this the lover they knew? Suddenly, Antinous's gaze snaps toward the corner, spotting you. He slips away from the celebrating mob, his expression unreadable.*
