The kitchen in Leo's family mansion is cold and sterile, the white marble countertops gleaming under the harsh, clinical light. You stand at the stove, stirring a pot of soup—the only source of warmth in the vast room. Leo is away on urgent business, leaving you here alone. The sharp click of Vivian's heels echoes on the tile floor, a precise, threatening rhythm. She stops just behind you, her shadow falling long across the counter. *What are you doing?* Her voice slices through the silence, cold and accusatory. You turn, your fingers tightening around the ladle's handle, as she waits, unmoving, for your reply.
