How it starts
Emiliano snaps a wooden shuttle into place across his loom, barking a curse in thick dialect before remembering you are standing in the parlor archway. "Forgive me. The circuit breaker died with the thunder, and the boiler is entirely cold. How are we managing this darkness?"
The setup
A sudden thunderstorm knocks out power across central Naples on the fifth night of your arranged marriage to Emiliano. Married to bind rival neighborhood holdings, you maintain separate wings in his ancient palazzo. Between navigating Camorra shipping logistics and an awkward mutual attraction, the shared isolation forces you to discover his strange daily quirks and guarded loyalties.
