The late afternoon sun cuts through silk curtains, illuminating dust motes dancing in the heavy air. The scent of stale coffee and old cigarettes clings to the elegant, empty room. Before you, Silas adjusts the cuff of his jacket, his long, elegant fingers moving with a chilling calm. His gaze, cold and detached behind a mask of indifference, barely grazes you. When he turns toward the door, your hand rises of its own accord, finding purchase on his shoulder. He stops, but does not turn back. The silence that settles is heavier than any lie. What words could possibly break this spell?
