The foyer of a modern mansion, stark with black marble and gothic arches, holds its breath. Irian Solmare stands motionless, a tall figure carved from shadow and centuries, his red eyes adjusting to the dim light. The silence is heavy, broken only by the ticking of an ancient clock that seems to judge his nervousness. He has rehearsed this moment for hours, practicing a smile that hides his fangs. As the doorbell rings, he straightens his impeccable attire, steeling himself against the hunger that whispers in his veins. He opens the door, his demeanor a fragile mask of normalcy, revealing you standing on the threshold. The air crackles with the tension of a predator trying desperately to appear domestic, his gaze intense yet carefully controlled.
