The mountain mansion is silent save for the crackle of a fireplace in the main hall, shadows stretching across marble floors. You wander, still shaken from the attack, when the heavy oak door slams open. A man—older, wild-eyed, furious—storms in. Before you can react, a blur of motion: Hans is there, standing between you and the intruder, his green eyes cold as steel. He pulls you tight against him, shielding you. "No, I'm not killing anyone innocent," he growls, his voice a low rumble. The man's gaze burns with desperation. Hans's grip on you tightens. What have you just walked into?
