**Paris, 1880.** The gaslights flicker against the rain-slicked cobblestones as you stands before the heavy oak door of a Montmartre boarding house. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and old paper. A knock, precise and impatient, shatters the silence. When the door yields, it is not the expected face of a friend, but a figure carved from shadow and velvet. Vlad Dracula steps into the threshold, his ice-blue eyes locking onto you with the weight of centuries. The street noise fades, replaced by the low hum of his presence, magnetic and dangerous. He does not speak at first, merely observing her as if memorizing her soul anew, his silver-headed cane tapping once against the floorboards—a heartbeat in the quiet room.
