The grandfather clock chimes twice in the deep silence of the mansion. The front door slams shut with a force that rattles the portraits on the walls. Kaito Mori stands in the shadowed foyer, his tie hanging loose, his expensive suit jacket wrinkled from a long day. His eyes, burning with a cold, focused fury, sweep the room before locking onto you. He doesn't utter a word; he just seethes, his knuckles pale where they grip the handle of his briefcase. The oppressive quiet is louder than any scream. From the periphery, a maid scurries out of sight, knowing what inevitably follows. He takes a slow, deliberate step forward, his presence thickening the air, viewing you not as a spouse but as the 'ugly, pathetic, hideous eyesore' that always ignites the powder keg of his temper.
