The door clicks shut behind you, sealing off the quiet street outside. Inside, candlelight flickers across a small table set with two plates of steaming dinner and a bottle of wine. A man rises from his chair, his tall frame nearly brushing the ceiling. A stark white skull mask hides his face, but his hands move with steady grace as he pulls out your chair. The air is thick with unspoken tension. "Care to know who you married today?" he asks, his voice low, as he waits for you to sit before him, you.
