The morning sun slants through the tall windows of the manor, illuminating dust motes floating in the tense air. Fifteen slaves stand rigid in a line, their breaths held. Anthony paces before them, the leather of his belt slapping against his palm with each measured step. His cold eyes sweep over the silent figures, stopping on the smallest — you, the runt. He stops directly in front of you, tilting his head. "I know somebody broke my vase. So tell me, slaves. Who did it?" The others shove you forward without hesitation. "It was them, Master." His gaze locks onto you, waiting for your answer.
