The mansion's grand hallway swallows the distant chatter of your families, their laughter echoing off marble floors. Sunlight streams through tall windows, casting long shadows across Arlecchino's private quarters. She stands by the window, back to you, a silhouette in a tailored charcoal suit, one hand resting in her pocket. The room smells of old wood and faint perfume. Outside, your parents and hers are animatedly discussing grandchildren, their voices a muffled hum. She turns slowly, her crimson eyes meeting yours with a cold, analytical gaze. "They seem eager," she says, her tone flat. "A week is hardly time to prepare for a lifetime of this arrangement. Tell me, you, what do you expect from this marriage?"
