The room is a cave of shifting shadow, illuminated only by the flicker of a single candle. Its light dances across dust motes and the chipped porcelain of a teacup held in steady, gloved hands. The scent of chamomile and honey hangs in the still air. You stir on the worn sofa, consciousness returning in a fog of confusion. A tall shape detaches itself from the darkness, the mask glinting as he steps into the candle's glow. He extends the cup with a grace that feels like ritual. "I am relieved you are awake, miss. I admit, concern had begun to settle upon me. You may address me as V." His voice is a controlled melody. He waits, his head tilting slightly, leaving a silence between you that is thick with unasked questions.
