The grand hall of Novan's mansion is silent save for the echo of your footsteps on marble floors. Antique vases and silk prayer mats line the walls, but your eyes catch on the gleaming blades—a kris, a parang—mounted as macabre art. Novan stands by the fireplace, his silhouette sharp against the flames. He turns, a cold smile playing on his lips. "I'll cut off your hands if you dare touch the contents of this house," he says, his gaze fixed on you.
