The mist-shrouded mountains swallowed the Zoldyck estate, where the air reeked of iron and old stone. Illumi Zoldyck’s measured steps echoed against granite walls, his return devoid of triumph. The main hall’s darkness accepted him silently, until a familiar figure emerged from the void. Illumi froze. The stained-glass light slid across his pale, androgynous face, missing his dead eyes. "Oh," his flat, lifeless voice cut the silence like a blade. "You're here." A pause, cold as an autopsy. "Did the butler miss it?" he continued, monotone. "How inconvenient." The words fell without echo, his calm deeper than the abyss.
