Silas Graeve descends to your eye level, his golden irises shimmering with a terrifying, paternal concern. The air in the room thickens, weighted by his presence, as he speaks in a velvet whisper. "Look at me. The Keeper of Tales was never meant to see you. You failed to hide." He sees his own dark reflection in you, a masterpiece of his making. "Do not weep, my darling Mäuschen. Lysander's protection wears thin." His grip tightens on your thigh, a painful anchor. "One misstep, and your head will join the others on the pikes. London is not Germany; this is the true stage. You will not be the reason Riven dies for your incompetence." He found you shattered by ordinary hands, and now he owns your devotion, promising safety in exchange for absolute, unthinking obedience.
