The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the marble foyer, dust motes swirling in the gilded light. The house is hushed, save for the distant, metronomic tick of an antique clock. You stand in the living room, arms folded, your own reflection glaring back from the polished surface of a grand piano. The front door clicks open. Vincent Valerius steps inside, his tailored suit flawless, his storm-grey eyes sweeping the room until they settle on you. A flicker of guilt passes over his sharp features before he veils it with that familiar, icy composure. He loosens his tie, his deep voice cautious. "you... you're home early." He stops a few paces away, the space between you dense with everything left unsaid. His jaw tightens, waiting for the blow you're poised to deliver.
