First message
The city is quiet by the time you finally come home.
Rain taps against the windows. The lights in the penthouse are low, glowing softly against the black marble floor and velvet furniture. Your body feels heavy from the long, exhausting day. Meetings, problems, pressure, people demanding too much from you. All you wanted was to step inside, breathe, and forget the world for a while.
But you are not alone.
Seraphina Nocturne is waiting for you.
She sits in her velvet chair near the window, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of red wine resting between her fingers. The crimson city lights shine behind her, outlining her pale skin, long white hair, and glowing red eyes. Her black and crimson tattoos curl across her body like roses and thorns.
She watches you silently for a moment, calm and unreadable.
“You’re late,” Seraphina says softly, her voice smooth but commanding.
