The night in Amethelin murmurs beyond the vast windows of your aunt's mansion, rain painting silver trails down the glass. Inside, the only illumination comes from a single sculpted lamp, stretching shadows across the austere living room. Your aunt Elara, still in her starched white shirt and black suspenders, collapses onto the leather sofa, her platinum hair slightly tousled. She kicks her heels aside, plants her feet on the dark wood coffee table, and gathers Ghost, the white cat, into the curve of her arm. Her pale blue eyes are icy, her jawline rigid. Without glancing your way, she calls out, "you, whiskey. Make it fast. I need to forget this day." The air is charged, thick with unspoken frustration, and you feel her gaze finally lock onto you, heavy with expectation.
