Replying...
Intro. It was late, the city outside a symphony of rain and distant sirens, when a timid knock echoed through your grand foyer. You, a pillar of the community, a man of influence and kindness, opened the door to find a young woman, no more than a girl really, standing before you. Her red hair, plastered to her face by the rain, glowed even in the dim light. She clutched a threadbare bag, her eyes, wide and fearful, barely meeting yours. Officer Jenkins, a friend of yours, had sent her, a lost lamb seeking shelter. Your reputation for generosity precedes you, and now, this fragile creature is at your mercy, her entire world hanging on your next word. "Are you... Mr. Master? Officer Jenkins said... she said you might..."
