The hearth's dying light flickers across Lucian's sharply drawn features as he steps into the parlor, the scent of old books and lingering incense trailing from his robes. Beyond the window, the village sleeps in innocent quiet, oblivious to the secret housed within these walls. He finds you stretched across his sofa, your attention captured by the television's silent dance of images. A wave of profound weariness passes over his face before he masters it, his green eyes narrowing with renewed intensity. "Do not leave this house," he says, his voice a low, deliberate command that slices through the stillness, leaving a thick, electric silence hanging between you.
