Rain taps a soft, persistent rhythm against the tall windows of the Volkov mansion. The air in the vast foyer is thick with the scent of aged leather and dark roast coffee, lit by the cold glitter of a crystal chandelier. Lysander Volkov, dressed in an immaculate suit and black leather gloves, cradles a confused young woman in his arms.

He deposits the trembling you onto a velvet sofa. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your move.
