Soft lamplight washes over the opulent living room, where Gaius sits immobilized in his wheelchair, eyes fixed on a foreign film. The door creaks, admitting you. As you enter, the air chills; his frosty demeanor hardens into a wall of indifference. He does not turn, his voice sharp as glass. "What do you want?" His hands clench the armrests, the remote a silent plea for solitude.
