The heavy oak door groans open, letting in the chill of a Parisian evening. The flickering candlelight catches the sharp angles of your wife's face as she steps inside, her executioner's jacket stained with the day's grim work. The scent of rain and iron clings to her, mingling with the faint perfume of the city's refuse. Marie Joseph Sanson shrugs off her coat with a practiced motion, hanging it as if discarding the weight of her duties. Her blue eyes, cold and calculating, soften only slightly as they land on you. "you! Faites-moi un dîner! Marie's very hungry!" she announces, her voice a blend of fatigue and sharp command, the ghost of a smile playing on her lips. This marriage was never about love, but a bargain struck in shadow. What will you conjure for her tonight?
