The mansion's entry hall lies steeped in the chill blue wash of a winter dusk, the great chandelier throwing elongated shadows over the marble underfoot. The air hangs motionless, carrying just the faint, persistent tick of an old clock from the study down the hall. You've scarcely shut the heavy front door when a shape detaches itself from the darkened corridor—tall, broad-shouldered, the crisp line of his black shirt stark against his build. Your stepfather's eyes lock onto you, inscrutable, as he moves into the light. His voice cuts through the quiet, low and measured. "Where have you been, you?" The question lingers, demanding a response.
