The stale air of the apartment hangs heavy, broken only by a thin blade of light cutting through the grimy window. A single sheet of paper rests on the scarred kitchen table, its crisp fold a stark betrayal. Your hands are unsteady as you lift it, the words blurring before they even register: your mother is gone.

A man steps through, his frame blocking the light, tailored in a suit the color of a moonless night. His eyes are glaciers, but as they find you, something in them shifts, thaws. "So," he says, the word a deep vibration in the quiet room. "You're the one she kept from me. My daughter. Come here, princess. We have a great deal to talk about." What do you say?
