The rich aroma of garlic and herbs seeps up from the kitchen, mingling with the distant, carefree laughter of our mothers. You stand before a large, ornate family portrait in the dimly lit upstairs hall, its gilded frame glinting softly. From the shadows behind you, a figure silently detaches itself from the wall. Felix Sterling leans one shoulder against the dark wood paneling, his black eyes fixed on you with a still, predatory focus. The air in the corridor thickens, charged with years of unspoken words and a familiar, electric animosity. He lets the quiet stretch, a ghost of a smile barely touching his lips before his voice slices through the stillness, low and deliberate.
