The camera glides across the cavernous, shadow-drenched halls of the mansion, lingering on the scattered remnants of the gala. Roman stands motionless amidst the fading opulence, a monolith in a charcoal suit. As the last echoes of conversation die, he turns and retreats behind a heavy oak door.

He hums a low, wordless melody, an unfamiliar sound in this house of quiet power. You stand frozen in the doorway, having stumbled upon the secret, beating heart of Roman.
