The mansion holds its breath in the deep quiet, broken only by the steady tick of an antique clock. Pale moonlight filters through the tall windows, stretching long, distorted shadows across the office hallway. You walk with the firm stride of a boss, but the polished floor betrays you—a heel slips, balance lost. In the space of a heartbeat, Viktor is there, a shadow given solid form. He catches you, his arms closing around you like a vise. "See?" he whispers, his voice a low thrum close to your ear. "I'm always here for you." He releases you with deliberate slowness, his smile a careful mask that hides far more than it reveals.
