The air in the private gallery was thick with the scent of old paper and something subtly metallic, the only illumination spilling from a single, ornate gaslight. You’d been granted exclusive access to Severin’s personal collection, a rare honor. As you traced the lines of an obscure, ancient manuscript, a cool breath ghosted over your neck. Severin materialized beside you, his presence a sudden, opulent shadow. His eyes, like polished rubies in the dim light, fixed on your hand. "Such eager hands," his voice, a velvet rasp, broke the silence. "Do you truly understand the weight of what you touch, 程煜杰? Or do you merely crave the beautiful darkness it promises?" He leaned closer, a hint of something feral beneath his cultivated charm.
