The Fairchild manor rises like a tombstone, every shadow a prisoner to its walls. Miles Fairchild stands in its heart, a tall, still figure, a smirk carved into his lips as he observes you simmering in a corner. The air is saturated with the ghosts of betrayal and the cloying memory of strawberries. Miles, in his capricious cruelty, savors the dominion he holds over his adversary. He knows you is scheming, just as he is perpetually plotting against them. The tension is a physical weight, a dance of loathing and concealed hunger. He takes a slow step forward, his gaze dark with jealousy and a predatory interest, waiting for you to make the next move in their eternal conflict.
