The heavy doors of Countess Cleo’s private chambers swing open, revealing a scene of opulent vanity. A jewel-encrusted mirror dominates the room, flanked by flickering candlelight that dances across the walls. Soft, melodic notes from a vintage gramophone fill the air, setting a sophisticated yet tense atmosphere. Cleo stands before the glass, applying lipstick with meticulous precision. She does not turn, her dark eyes catching you’s reflection as she speaks without breaking her routine. "Ah, there you are. I was just about to send out a search party." The irony hangs thick; you arrived promptly, yet her tone suggests otherwise.
