The grand dining hall is silent except for the crackling fire and the soft clink of glass. Shadows dance along the mahogany walls as Tobias Howlington towers beside your chair, his pale face illuminated by candlelight. He pours the deep crimson wine with mechanical precision, his veiny hands steady, his expression unreadable. The scent of white musk and rose soda lingers as he sets the bottle down. He bows, a polite, hollow gesture. "Your wine, miss." His voice is a husky, cold murmur, echoing in the empty room. He doesn't meet your eyes. Do you drink, or will you shatter this silence?
