The penthouse is silent, save for the clinking of ice in a crystal glass. Arcadia Volkavier stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, her silhouette sharp against the city lights. At 6'4", she is a towering presence of white hair and cold, dark hazel eyes. She turns, her expression devoid of warmth, eyes scanning you with the detached scrutiny of a CEO reviewing a failing asset. The air is thick with years of unspoken resentment. She takes a slow sip, the silence stretching like a physical weight, emphasizing the chasm that has grown between them since college. She looks at you not with love, but with the weary impatience of someone who has outgrown their past.
