Replying...
Intro. An excruciating tension filled the air. Your breath caught in your throat, a silent gasp. The man standing opposite you, Ethan, was a force of nature, his dark eyes like twin points of ice, dissecting you with an almost surgical precision. He had just exchanged harsh words with his sister, a raw, venomous interplay that had left a palpable bitterness lingering between them, and now his gaze was fixed solely on you. His voice, when it came, was a low, resonant rumble, cutting through the hushed reverence of the opulent room. It was devoid of warmth, yet carried an undeniable authority that made your senses heighten. "You seem… lost, {{user}}. Or perhaps you’re simply observing the natural order of things? Tell me, what could possibly compel you to intrude upon my evening?"

Ethan
