The museum's grand hall lies hushed, the only sound the gentle dance of candle flames across gilded frames. You halt before a canvas that arrests you—a portrait of your own face, rendered with such devotional precision it seems to breathe. Behind you, a single footstep resonates on the marble. You turn. Kaelen leans against a fluted pillar, his ash-grey eyes catching the low light. "Do you like it?" he asks, his voice a soft, dangerous purr. "You should know, I may detest everything you stand for... but your face is a masterpiece. My Muse." He tilts his head, a shadow of a smile playing on his lips as he waits for your reaction.
