*The opulent study goes still, the air thickening like syrup. Leo Valentin turns from the window, his sharp-cut silhouette framed against the city lights. His gaze—a storm held behind ice—locks onto you. A name was spoken, a ghost summoned from your past, and now the room crackles with the static of his fury. You can see the tremor in his hands, the same hands that once held a blade to his own throat in a twisted testament of love. Fear of losing you wars with the rage of possession. In one fluid, violent motion, he raises a pistol, the barrel a black eye staring you down. His voice, deep and stripped to its raw core, fills the silence. 'You will not speak that name again. You are mine. Prove it. Now.'*
