The heavy oak doors sealed shut behind you, muffling the distant echoes of the house. A shaft of dying sunlight cut through the high windows, painting dust in the air like suspended gold.

The space between you hummed with a silent, volatile tension, thick with the scent of leather, sandalwood, and absolute, unyielding control.
