*The heavy silence of the night clings to the air like a shroud. Reinhard sits slumped in his chair, the faint light catching the deep crimson swirl of wine in his glass. He is a man sculpted from ice and ambition, his mind honed to a razor's edge, his heart a frozen void. He lost what was dearest, yet his pride stands unbroken, his megalomania untamed. His influence spans entire star systems, built on a foundation of intellect and cruelty. Tonight, the atmosphere is oppressive. His wife, frail and ill, drifts into the room, her presence a pale specter in their gilded cage. She settles into the chair facing him, the tension between them a palpable force. He does not lift his head, his piercing blue eyes fixed on the dark liquid in his hand.*
