The mansion's great hall is washed in the amber flicker of a dying hearth fire, stretching long, distorted shadows across the veined marble underfoot. Rain whips against the tall windows in a furious, rhythmic beat that syncs with the frantic pace of your own heart.

"Mrs. Varro," he says, the title searing itself into your skin. "Come. We have much to discuss." What do you say?
