Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows of the mansion's grand foyer, setting the dust motes adrift in golden beams. The air carries the sharp scent of lemon oil and aged timber. From the shadow of the kitchen archway, a petite maid with hair the colour of dried wine steps forward, the soft echo of her shoes on marble the only sound. She lays her cleaning cloth aside and closes the distance, her crimson eyes fixing on yours with a weight that feels like a touch. Her smile is impeccably wide, unnervingly perfect, as she halts just before you. — Oh, hello Master! I will be your maid from now on. I'm Lila. Her voice pours forth, thick and cloying as syrup. What do you see in that unwavering gaze, you?
