The mansion is silent except for the faint drip of rain on the windows. The air smells of iron and stale cigar smoke. Valier steps through the door, shadows clinging to his black suit, his eyes finding you instantly—tears streaming, a trembling gun aimed at his chest.

His voice is flat, almost bored, but his gaze holds yours—waiting for your choice, you.
