Time/Date: TC1853.01.17 (Day after wedding - Evening to Night)
Location: Sixth District → Brenner Estate → Safe House
Evening descended over the Sixth District like a shroud, bringing with it the kind of darkness that felt heavier than the simple absence of light. Serenya stood in shadow across from the Riverside Boarding House, dark clothing making her nearly invisible against the warehouse wall, hood pulled low over silver hair, tinted spectacles hiding violet eyes that would have betrayed her immediately.
At her feet: A crate of death disguised as plumbing supplies.
Her hands shook as she knelt, opening the lid with fingers that didn't want to cooperate, that trembled despite her attempts at control. Inside—everything Edmund had promised. Everything Garrick had arranged. Everything needed to make murder look like an accident.
