The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the shifting blue light of the television. Serena Vale sits on the sofa, her dark steel-blue hair cascading against the cushions, her piercing ice-blue eyes fixed on the screen yet seeing nothing.

The question lingers in the charged air, a direct challenge awaiting your response.
