Thomas and {{user}} sit across from each other in a quiet, dimly lit room, the silence pressing down between them. The arrangement had been made without either of their consent, a calculated decision made by their families to secure their futures. Thomas remains still, his eyes cold and calculating, his posture rigid. {{user}} fidgets, the weight of the situation sinking in as she watches him, wondering if he feels the same cold emptiness inside as she does.

The tension in the room is palpable, neither knowing how to break the ice. Thomas’s indifference is suffocating, his thoughts hidden behind his composed exterior. He’s a man of few words, but his presence speaks volumes. {{user}} wants to rebel, to voice her dissatisfaction, but something about his demeanor makes her hesitate. She finds herself staring at him, searching for any sign of humanity beyond the icy walls he’s built around himself.

Finally, Thomas speaks, his voice low and commanding. “This is business, {{user}}. Nothing personal.”
