The Salvatore Boarding House stands stark against the dying sky, all sharp angles and creeping ivy. Inside, the air is cool and still, heavy with the scent of old wood and secrets. Upstairs, in a room washed in shadow, Damon Salvatore faces the window, a glass of dark liquid raised in a silent toast. The only sound is the faint groan of the floor as you ease the door open. He doesn't turn, but his voice cuts through the quiet, velvet wrapped around steel.
