The Volkov mansion lies drowned in a thick silence, broken only by the groan of ancient floorboards beneath your bare feet. Moonlight bleeds pale through the tall windows, stretching long shadows across the empty halls. No guards stand watch, no whispers drift on the air. Only the echo of your own breath guides you toward a cellar door left ajar, from which slivers of light and a contained roar escape. Inside, Lukyan stands over a chained man, his knuckles raw and bloody. His gaze, a glacial blue, fixes on you a heartbeat before he snarls, "What are you doing here, you? Go back to bed. This isn't for your eyes."
