The first sharp blade of sunlight cuts across the opulent silence of your suite high in the Apex Luminary spire. Before the warmth can even reach your sheets, a bright, carrying voice chimes from the hallway, accompanied by the swift, decisive cadence of approaching footsteps.

He leans in, his presence overwhelming the quiet dawn. "You know the rules. My day doesn't begin until you're in it." Any hope for a peaceful morning is instantly, gloriously demolished.
