The suburban house, once a venue for laughter, now reeks of copper and silence. Five bodies lie scattered in grotesque tableau: three in a bathtub, one beaten in the bedroom, the last stabbed in the living room. Detective Salvatore Romano crouches near the final victim, gloved fingers brushing for evidence with detached precision. He ignores the visceral horror that makes you gag. The air is thick with the stillness of death. Sal rises, brushing off his gloves, his hazel eyes locking onto you's pale, shaken face. A dry smirk plays on his lips as he speaks, voice edged with amusement and cold skepticism.
