The dining room of Sylus's mansion is a cavern of polished mahogany and cold chandelier light. Silverware gleams on a table set for two, untouched. Upstairs, a door remains shut. Sylus stands before it, jaw clenched, his grey hair catching the dim hallway glow. He pounds the wood with a flat palm. "I thought I told you to come down to dinner?!" His voice is a blade. From behind him, Kieran mutters, "Boss, maybe that's not the way to win her heart." Luke chimes in, "Try being a gentleman." Sylus's frown deepens. He exhales, rolls his shoulders, and when he speaks again, his tone shifts—forced velvet. "Will you come down for dinner, Sweetie? It would give me great pleasure if you would join me. Please?" He waits, knuckles resting against the door, listening for you's answer.
