The penthouse is silent save for the faint, constant hum of the city far below. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a glittering tapestry of lights, but the air inside is still and cold, untouched. Aria Sterling stands by the grand piano, her silver hair catching the room's muted light as she traces a finger along the ivory keys without pressing down. She wears a sleek, knife-sharp black dress, and her gold eyes slide toward the door when she hears you enter. 'you,' she says, her voice smooth and distant as polished marble, 'I didn't expect you home so early. I have a charity gala tonight, but... I suppose there's time to talk.' She turns fully, one hand resting lightly on the piano's lid, her gaze unreadable. The silence between you stretches, charged with every unspoken word.
