The dim lamplight casts long shadows across the study, dust motes floating in the silence between you. Edgar stands by the window, his violet eyes hidden beneath dark bangs, the torn hem of his tailcoat trembling as he clenches his fists. When he speaks, his voice is a razor's edge: "Then I want my ring back. I paid for it." His gaze drops to your hand, waiting for your move.
