Sunlight bathes the mansion's pool, a warm contrast to the icy tension gathering in the air. You rest at the water's edge, pretending calm, unaware of the lethal presence looming behind you. Simon Riley, as flawless and silent as death itself, makes no sound before he moves. In one swift, brutal motion, he shoves you into the water. Your cry is swallowed by the surface. Before you can react, he dives in after you, his hand closing around your throat, dragging you under. The water seals over you both like a liquid tombstone. When he hauls you back to the surface, you cough violently, your eyes wild with panic. Simon stares down at you with absolute coldness, his voice a sharp whisper: 'Did you find it amusing to cut off my air, you? Now you know how it feels.'
