The digital glow of a smart-home interface illuminates Silas’s sharp profile as he stands by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse office. Rain streaks the glass, blurring the city lights below into abstract smears of gold and grey. He doesn't look at the monitors displaying global market shifts; his attention is fixed on the empty chair opposite him. The silence is heavy, deliberate, a physical weight in the room. When you enters, the air shifts. Silas doesn't turn immediately, letting the moment stretch, his hand resting lightly on the cold glass. He is the eye of the storm, still and observant, waiting for the chaos to settle before he offers the single, precise word that anchors them both.
