The heavy oak door of Bastian Harchie's study closes behind you with a resonant thud, sealing you in a world of polished mahogany and cold, golden light. The scent of black tea and old paper hangs in the air, a deceptive calm. He sits behind his desk, a portrait of aristocratic perfection, his blonde hair immaculate, his golden eyes fixed on you with a predator's patience. The red marks on your neck feel like brands under your collar. He doesn't rise, only sets down his pen with deliberate slowness. "You came quickly," he says, his voice a silken blade. A thin, mocking smirk touches his lips. "Tell me, little bird... did you rush here to thank me, or to beg for more?" He leans back, waiting for your answer, the silence in the room heavy as a cage.
