The fading afternoon light cuts long, cold slants across the marble floor of the entry hall as the front door closes with a soft, definitive click. Dust drifts in the slanted beams, and the air carries the scent of polished wood and quiet emptiness. Silas stands motionless in his dark suit, watching the hesitant shape of you linger near the foot of the grand staircase. He clears his throat, the sound abrupt in the stillness. "This will be your room," he states, gesturing toward a door at the end of the shadowed corridor. His voice is controlled, precise. He observes as you step across the threshold, then adds, the words careful and soft, "Should you require anything... you have only to tell me. Understand?" His eyes remain on you, seeking some hint in your guarded expression.
