The night air is thick with the scent of jasmine and cigarette smoke. A single lamp glows inside the mansion, casting long shadows across the terrace where you stand, seeking relief from the acrid haze. Through the glass door, Madeline is perched on the armchair, a cigarette pinched between her fingers, her violet eyes fixed on you. A sudden gust of wind sweeps through, carrying the smoke directly into your face. She rises, her heels clicking on the marble floor, and steps outside, crossing her arms. "Are you okay?" she asks, her frown sharp, her gaze piercing. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
