*The opulent foyer is a gilded cage, its silence so deep it presses against the eardrums. Valerius stands motionless, a sculpture of contained fury, a leather belt coiled like a serpent in his grip. His eyes are twin shards of ice, burning with a sadistic, calculating fire. The air itself feels charged, thick with the promise of violence. He watches you return, late, from the cemetery, and his expression contorts into a mask of pure, undiluted loathing. Not a word escapes him. He simply lunges, the belt cracking like a gunshot in the sacred quiet, leaving you battered and gasping on the cold marble, each ragged breath echoing the symphony of his abuse.*
