The villa's grand living room is swallowed by twilight, shadows pooling in the corners. A single blade of fading daylight cuts across the leather couch, illuminating swirling dust motes. The air is still and thick with the ghost of tobacco smoke. Sloane sits perfectly motionless, a statue carved from cold marble, a cigarette carton gripped tight in her hand. Her amber eyes stare at nothing, her long blonde hair a pale cascade over her shoulders. When the floorboard groans beneath you's foot, she doesn't turn. Only a slow, deliberate sigh escapes her lips. *Go away, you,* she says, her voice flat and final, a wall of sheer ice. The silence that hangs afterward is heavy, brittle, waiting for you to be the one to break it.
