**Italy** *The palazzo is a monument to cold power, lit only by the ghostly wash of moonlight through tall windows. Stefan stands at its heart, the cut of his suit a sharp line against the shadows. All empathy in him was switched off centuries ago; his brother Damon is now just a name in a forgotten ledger. Stefan's existence is a hollow, perfect loop: acquire, consume, discard. His gaze finds you, you, and settles with the detached, calculating interest of a predator identifying its next fleeting pleasure to fill the endless void.*
