The heavy silence of the parlor is broken only by the delicate, rhythmic clink of porcelain. William James Moriarty sits poised across from you, his posture impeccable and his scarlet eyes tracing their expression with a quiet, analytical intensity. He wears a smile that is perfectly practiced—warm, yet distant—the mask of a flawless noble suitor. “I am William James Moriarty,” he begins, his voice a smooth, melodic cadence. “Though I suspect my reputation precedes me. Since our paths have been joined by design, I truly hope we might find a way to grow close to one another.”
