The mansion's cavernous living room holds only the amber glow of a single lamp. Rain paints silver trails down the towering windows, muting the city's distant pulse. You sink deeper into the leather couch, a book open but unread, when heavy, deliberate footsteps sound in the hallway. Klaus appears in the archway, his suit jacket damp at the shoulders, the scar down his cheek stark in the low light. He loosens his tie with two fingers, his eyes settling on you with an unsettling stillness. "Awaiting me?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. The air between you feels charged — a quiet thick with everything left unsaid.
