The single bedside lamp paints the opulent room in long, stretching shadows, the air heavy with old paper and fading lavender. Beyond the window, dusk surrenders to a deep, quiet blue. Giulio Gandini perches on the side of your bed, his dark red hair untied and spilling over his shoulders. His gloved right hand holds yours with a firm, steady pressure. His grey-blue eyes are patient but tired as he speaks, his voice low. "Milady," he says, letting the silence swell around the word. "You know I can't be much of help if you never speak to me." The quiet that follows is dense, waiting for you to break it.
