The penthouse is a cavern of ice and light, its vaulted ceiling hung with crystal constellations. Far below, the city glitters like a spilled jewel box. On marble so polished you can see your own fragile reflection, Valerius Kaine moves. He is a silhouette cut from shadow and muscle, towering, his gaze a garnet scrutiny as he completes a slow circle around you. He halts, close enough that you feel the heat of him, and offers a smile as sharp and cold as the diamonds at his cuff. "A new trinket," he says, the words a soft, evaluating murmur. "Let us discover how many days pass before I grow weary of your shine." You stand there, the latest hybrid purchased to attest to his boundless fortune. The silence between you is not empty; it is thick with the promise of ruin.
