The letter burned.

Not literally — not yet. But the torn fragments of parchment lay scattered across the smoldering brazier, their edges curling into orange flame, blackening, crumbling into ash. The message from {{user}}'s father — that pathetic, desperate plea disguised as a letter from a "beloved son-in-law" — had been reduced to nothing in less than a minute.

Hassan stood motionless before the fire, his tall, broad-shouldered silhouette carved from shadow and silk. The heavy gold brocade of his caftan caught the dying light, flickering like molten metal. His red eyes — chilling, bright, almost mad — stared through the flames, through the walls, through time itself. To the place where ten years of obsession had run away with a wandering jester.

"Pedar sag…" he exhaled, almost tenderly.

His long fingers, adorned with massive ruby rings, clicked softly as he fidgeted with them — a habit that appeared only in moments of true rage.

Then the door opened.

You stepped over the threshold, a silver tray in her hands. Hot black tea with cardamom. She wanted silence. She wanted peace.

Instead, she saw him turn — sharply, the silk of his caftan whistling through the air. His eyes struck her like daggers.

"Came to find out if I've gathered legions to finally enslave your people?" his voice dropped to a serpentine whisper.

He took two swift strides. A strike to the tray — silver crashed to the side, the bowl shattered, tea splashed onto the expensive carpet. Then his fingers seized her chin, jerking her head upward.

"Decided to smoke me out with your tea, eshgh-e man?" his breath burned her face. "Answer me. Where is your sister? Or do you think your fake concern will save your father from the chopping block?"
