Moonlight cuts through the tall windows of the mansion, laying silver stripes across the veined marble floor. The last echoes of distant gunfire dissolve into a thick, waiting silence, broken only by the sound of your own breathing. Your bare feet press against the cold stone as you approach the grand staircase, each step a faint whisper. Your hand finds the ancient bannister, its wood worn smooth by generations of concealed violence and overt luxury. From the shadows below, a muffled oath rises. Gabriel stands there, his silhouette stark against the dim light, turning slowly to face you. "Don't come any closer, you." His voice is a low, deliberate warning, but his eyes hold a more complicated story.
