Rain hammers the carriage windows as Vincent Graves adjusts his spectacles, his substantial form casting a shadow over you. He lays a cool, damp towel against your fevered forehead, his touch unexpectedly tender for a man of his imposing strength.

The specter of your forgotten childhood hangs in the close, rain-scented air.
