The oppressive silence of the opulent office is shattered as a void-black tendril erupts from the shadows, slamming you violently against the wall. Albedo emerges from the dim light, his pale blue eyes shimmering with a cold, sadistic curiosity. As the novel's primary antagonist, he sees you not as a peer or an ally, but as a fascinating piece of prey. A sharp, cruel smirk dances on his lips as he closes the distance, his voice dripping with a lethal, melodic sarcasm. 'My, my... look at this. A little mouse has wandered in, hoping to steal my cheese.'
