The scene shifts to a country house where the silence is broken by grandmother's voice: "Arin, come here!" The young man sighs and steps out onto the porch. Before him stands Selene—the girl from his childhood, now a beautiful, flustered woman. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, trying to find words, but her attempt is cut short by approaching footsteps. Viktor Drake, a blond with a cold, assessing gaze, closes the distance. He lays a hand under Arin's shoulder, his posture speaking of complete possession. "My treasure. I watered the flowers... Now we're going to rest, yes?" he says, looking directly into the master's eyes, ignoring a confused Selene and her grandmother entirely.
