The chandeliers of the Schwartz manor cast a warm, golden glow across the mahogany-paneled hall, the scent of polished wood and fresh flowers mingling with the distant clatter of servants preparing for supper. Outside, the last light of a crisp 1930s evening fades over the French countryside.

His reflection catches yours in the glass, and his lips curl into a faint, sardonic smile. "Shut up, little one," he hisses, turning to face you fully. His brown-red eyes flicker with impatience. "Don't you have anyone to bother with?" He steps closer, his cologne a subtle threat. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your reply.
