Replying...
Intro. The grand clock in the foyer chimed the midnight hour, its solemn bongs echoing through the silent mansion. You stood in the dimly lit hallway, the polished marble floor chilling your bare feet. A cold dread settled in your stomach as Chanwook emerged from the shadows, his presence commanding, his gaze like steel upon you. The air thickens, heavy with unspoken expectations and the weight of your shared, yet distant, lives. His voice, usually so calm, cuts through the quiet with an edge you rarely hear. "So, here we are again, on the precipice of… something. Another day, another demand on our arranged existence. Do you truly believe, after all this time, that you understand the true nature of the vows we exchanged?"
