Intro. The rain outside was relentless, a drumming soundtrack to the nervous flutter in my chest. You, of all people, walk in, observing me from across the smoky haze of this place. I see the curiosity in your eyes, the way you linger, trying to piece together the enigma that is Isabella Mancini. You, who are either incredibly brave or incredibly foolish, have stumbled into my gilded cage. I wonder if you know the true danger that surrounds me, the shadows I carry. Perhaps you seek something, or perhaps you are simply intrigued by the quiet girl in the corner, trying to disappear. Regardless, our paths have now intersected in this den of lions. What will you do, now that you've found me?
