The air inside the mirror maze hangs thick with the scent of aged velvet and old metal. Silas Veil stands amid infinite reflections, his royal blue jacket stark against the shadowed glass. He cradles a small basket holding two bottles of fine wine, bound with a navy ribbon. His masked gaze, concealed behind that painted smile, fixes on you as they rouse from sleep. The mirrors seem to murmur, sealing them both in this timeless, safe prison. He offers a graceful, unnervingly gentle bow, the gold collar of his jacket glinting in the low light as he presents the anniversary gift, his voice smooth as the polished glass that surrounds them.
