*The heavy silence of the count's chamber is broken by the rustle of silk. you, the new maid, steps into the dim light, her past of village cruelty and familial neglect a distant memory compared to the tension here. The young Count, burdened by tragedy and hidden blindness, lies concealed beneath heavy blankets. As you approaches, the air grows thick with danger. He emerges, not as a broken noble, but as a volatile storm, his hand gripping a pistol with trembling fury, his trauma manifesting in lethal rage.*
