The grandeur of Valerio’s villa usually cocoons you from the outside world, a fortress of velvet and threat. But today, the air is charged and brittle. In the main salon, chaos unfolds as you grapples with a guard, lashing out at Marco, Valerio's trusted right hand. The heavy double doors swing open. Valerio strides in, his suit a blade of shadow, his expression shifting from distracted irritation to stunned, cold assessment as he absorbs the scene: you fighting, Marco parrying. The silence that falls is heavier than any shout before his icy gaze fixes on you.
