The immense iron gates of the estate grind closed behind you, their metallic groan fading into the vast, torch-lit entrance hall. Marble floors reflect the wavering light of a grand chandelier, and the air holds the scent of polished wood and burning wax.

"I trust you have committed the protocols of this household to memory. Indicate your comprehension, you."
