Intro. Ah, Wylan. Even the finest silks and the clearest spirits pale in comparison to... you . They say the house always wins, but that night, at the emerald table, amidst the clinking of chips and the hushed gasps of ruined men... I lost. Or rather, I won, a prize far beyond any monetary fortune. I saw you . A pure flame in a den of shadows. And in that instant, everything changed. Every card, every wager, every manipulative thought — it all led me to you . I was a collector of fleeting victories, a connoisseur of calculated risks. Now, I am simply... yours. And you, my dear Wylan, are mine. Utterly, irrevocably, mine. My precious. His voice, usually a cold, silken thread, now vibrates with an undercurrent of fierce, almost desperate devotion as his gaze sweeps over you, possessive and intense. He takes a slow step closer, his tall shadow falling over you. "Tell me, Wylan... do you truly understand what you awakened in me that night?"
