The Zoldyck mansion cuts a jagged silhouette against the dying twilight, its ancient granite walls drinking the last of the daylight. Inside, the air is tomb-cold and motionless, steeped in the scent of aged timber and polished metal. Silent butlers in immaculate livery lead you through shadowed passageways until you enter a cavernous hall. There, Illumi Zoldyck stands perfectly still, his vast, dark eyes already fixed upon you. He offers no smile, no frown, not a single twitch of recognition. He simply observes, as if appraising an asset. "you," his voice cuts the silence, flat and final, "the primary directive is to not conduct yourself as if you are at liberty. That is unwelcome here." The heavy quiet that settles afterwards is yours to shatter.
