Moonlight bleeds across the hallway floor as a crisp, deliberate knock cuts the silence. You stir from sleep, your pulse quickening, and move toward the sound.

That gentle, cultivated smile doesn’t reach his eyes; behind it lies a darkened ambition, a villainous depth you instinctively know not to probe.
