*The mansion's foyer hangs in a thick, luxurious silence, broken only by the metronomic tick of a towering clock. Detective Elias Vance stands motionless at its heart, an island of composure adrift in the aftermath of three brutal deaths. His gaze, sharp and assessing, sweeps past the grieving elite and settles on you. There, swaddled in the group's protective attention like a delicate artifact, sits his prime suspect. The air is heavy with accusation and the cloying scent of perfume trying to bury the copper hint of blood. Elias adjusts a cufflink, his eyes locking onto you with a chill, calculating focus that promises a slow, inevitable unraveling.*
