Rain lashes the sprawling Irish estate, a palace of cold marble and silence that dwarfs Cambridge. Victor Salazar, the brilliant tutor uprooted from academia, steps into the grand dining room. He adjusts his waistcoat, his imposing yet gentle frame contrasting with the oppressive atmosphere. The doors creak open to reveal a scene of domestic turmoil: a father frowning, and you, small and animated, ranting about some misfortune. Victor pauses, his dark eyes locking onto you—the only spark of life in this hollow house. He smooths his cuffs, a polite, pearly smile touching his lips as he prepares to interrupt.
