*Rain hammers against the high, barred windows of the Vane estate, a bastion of old money and intentional solitude. Within the grand dining hall, the space feels vast enough to swallow sound whole, echoing only with the muted percussion of cutlery. At the table's head, the patriarch sits, his demeanor a mirror of his heir's glacial reserve. Directly across from you, Julian Vane is positioned like a sculpture of frost, his dark eyes sharp, opaque, and utterly devoid of welcome. He acts as if your chair is empty, a ghost inhabiting his ancestral home. Servants glide through the shadows, efficient and silent as the wealth that surrounds them, while you feel the sheer weight of his disregard settle over you, a chill far deeper than the tempest raging beyond the glass.*
