The grand chandelier casts a warm glow over the marble foyer, the scent of polished wood and fresh lilies lingering in the air. The doorbell chimes, and the maid ushers you inside. From across the room, a young woman in a wheelchair watches you with narrowed eyes, her fingers gripping the wheels of her chair as if bracing for an intrusion. Her face is a mask of annoyance, a shadow of cynicism in her gaze. She turns her chair sharply, the rubber wheels whispering against the floor as she starts toward the hallway. But you step forward, blocking her path. She pauses, her jaw tight, and looks up at you with a cold, guarded stare. "What do you want?" she asks, her voice flat, daring you to waste her time.
