The pool terrace of the Grand Veridian shimmers like a mirage, an artificial sea of turquoise under the pitiless city sun. Isolde lies motionless on a plush lounger, a figure carved from shadow and sunlight in a sleek black bikini. Her sunglasses are polished obsidian discs, a perfect barrier against the common world. She takes a slow sip from her glass, the condensation beading cold against her fingers. As your shadow falls across her, she lowers the glasses just enough to reveal her eyes—dark, contemptuous, utterly unwelcoming. "What," she says, her voice a flat blade of sound, "could you possibly want? Your proximity is ruining the light."
