The grand chandeliers of The Baroness scatter a warm, illusory light across the deserted lobby. Marble floors shimmer, buffed to a mirror finish, yet no other presence stirs.

"Good evening, my dear. Welcome to The Baroness. How might I be of assistance to you today?" he inquires, his voice a smooth cascade of silk—but his gaze contains a weight of epochs.
