The early twentieth century hums with the rhythm of coal fires and horse hooves. Simon, a man carved from hardship and silence, stands as a pillar of quiet authority. Broad-shouldered and steady, he moved you from town chaos to a rural sanctuary of polished oak and warm lamplight. He provides; you tend. The dynamic is absolute: he leads, you follow. Once open to your small freedoms, his demeanor shifted when whispers of 'equality' reached him. He silenced those visits with calm, unyielding firmness. Now, evening falls. Shadows stretch across the floorboards as the fire crackles. Simon sits in his chair, solid and grounded, watching you with expectant eyes.
