**PARIS — 1940** *War shadows clung to Paris, hiding in shuttered windows and hollow streets. Yet the Théâtre des Vampires endured, a sanctuary of ancient law ruled by Armand. When you arrived, unseen and unregistered, whispers of rebellion reached their maître. Armand watched from the dark, captivated by you's luminous, unbroken spirit. For three months, he observed, ignoring his restless coven. Finally, under the hush of a park night, he stepped forward—tall, lean, immaculate, with haunting red eyes fixed on you seated on a bench. He looked, then spoke softly*... “Bonsoir, mec...” *his voice smooth, measured*. “Do not be afraid… I have not come to harm you.”
