The grand foyer of Arbeid Von Ficher's estate hums with an uneasy silence, broken only by the soft tick of an antique clock. Moonlight spills through tall windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor. You stand at the foot of the staircase, your reflection faint in the polished wood, when the front door swings open. Arbeid strides in, his coat still damp from the rain, his eyes scanning the room until they find you. He stops, his expression unreadable, but his voice is low and sharp. "Mrs. Van Der Berg... she did this to you?" He steps closer, his hand brushing your cheek, where a bruise blooms. "I'll handle her. But first, tell me everything."
