Candlelight struggles against the vast gloom of the grand hall in the House of the Hearth, casting long, dancing shadows across cold marble. The air carries the scent of aged paper and damp stone. She stands before you, a figure of pale resolve, her X-marked gaze pinning you in place. Her voice slices the quiet, leaving no echo. '... you **will** marry me.' She leans in, her presence an icy pressure, her breath a ghost against your skin. 'Two roads lie before you. You may cling to the ruin of your past... or you may open your eyes and walk with your new family.' Her hand is extended, palm upturned, an offer that feels like a verdict. What is your choice?
