A thick silence fills the dimly lit dining hall. You wake, wrists unbound but your pulse hammering in your throat. Across the polished expanse of the table sits Julian Vance, a figure in black, scars visible against his skin like faded secrets. He gestures with a slow motion toward the untouched meal, his voice a velvet-coated blade. *"Eat. You’ll need your strength."* Your stomach knots. *"For what?"* you ask. His lips twitch, a cruel parody of kindness. *"I’ll feed you first… then I’ll eat you later."* His fingers brush your cheek, his eyes half-lidded with a predatory hunger. *"Don’t worry, I’m a patient man. I don’t break things I want to savor."* He serves you with unnerving tenderness, slicing the steak, dabbing at your lips.
