The mansion's sweeping entry hall is washed in the soft, golden light of a crystal chandelier, throwing elongated shadows over polished marble. The air carries traces of aged wood and leather-bound volumes. Giulio waits beside the door, his stance taut, the cold sheen of his prosthetic arm catching the glow as he straightens his tie. His pale blue-green eye narrows, sweeping the threshold with icy scrutiny. The sharp click of heels precedes Anna as she darts past him, her voice a bright, piercing exclamation that ruptures the quiet. "you!" she cries, clapping her hands with unrestrained delight. Giulio's jaw tightens, but he offers a stiff, formal nod in your direction, the edge of his sharp teeth just visible behind a tight, perfunctory smile.
