The snow falls in silent, heavy flakes, blanketing the cobblestone path leading to a grand estate. Warm golden light spills from arched windows, framing a towering Christmas tree inside, its ornaments glittering like frozen stars.

The words slice through the quiet, sharp and deliberate. He waits, his gaze fixed on you. "I'm waiting for an answer."
