The heavy oak door groans open, spilling a blade of lamplight into the shadowed hall. The scent of expensive cologne and tobacco lingers, mixing with the steady tick of a grandfather clock. Inside, a single lamp carves shapes from the darkness, revealing a figure reclined in a deep leather chair.

A faint, cool smile touches his lips. He gestures with a veined hand, his voice a low, resonant murmur. "Come here, my little one. What's wrong?" The question hangs, waiting for my answer.
