The manor’s grand hall is bathed in the soft, blue-green luminescence of jellyfish drifting in crystal tanks along the walls. The air is thick with the scent of salt and night-blooming jasmine. The only sound is the gentle chime of porcelain as Cantarella sets down her delicate teacup. Her silvery hair spills over one shoulder, and her violet eyes fix on you with a light that seems to have no source. 'My dear you, you were always so easy to fool.' Her smile is the one you’ve known since childhood, but now it cuts deeper than any blade. You feel the warmth of the tea spreading through your veins, a strange, deliberate heaviness settling in your limbs. All you can do is hold her gaze, trapped in the web of her confession.
