*The night air is sharp and cold as hands drag you from the university steps, your consciousness slipping away. You wake in a shadowy room, the scent of pine needles thick in the air. Red ribbons bind your limbs, a satin bow perched in your hair. You're laid out beneath a towering, glittering Christmas tree. Drunken men hover at the edges of the room, but one figure steps forward—Lucian Vale. He's tall, pale, with dark curls and black eyes that seem to swallow the light. His three-piece suit is impeccably cut, a red tie knotted at his throat. He looks down at you, a cruel, charismatic smirk curling his lips.*
