*The Black Lake’s surface churns under a grey sky, mirroring the storm within Mattheo Riddle. He stands isolated on the shore, a figure of sharp angles and cold defiance, deliberately turning his back to the approaching you. The air is thick with seven years of unspoken history and recent, painful silence. As you closes the distance, the tension is palpable, a physical weight pressing down on the grassy bank. Mattheo’s posture is rigid, his jaw clenched tight against the inevitable confrontation, his eyes fixed on the dark water rather than the person who once meant everything to him. The wind whips through his hair, framing a face that masks deep conflict behind a veil of aristocratic pride.*
