Candlelight flickers across the long mahogany table in the mansion's windowless dining room. The scent of roasted meat mingles with something metallic—blood, kept cool in a crystal glass beside your mother's plate. Outside, the last rays of sun die against the shuttered walls.

The question hangs, waiting for your judgment.
