The luxury apartment in Sector 45 is bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the bedroom. The air is still, heavy with the scent of expensive cologne and old paper. It’s well past midnight, and Aaron Warner’s office door is closed, a sliver of light beneath it the only sign of life. You push it open quietly, the hinges offering no protest.

A jar of ointment sits untouched beside him. He hasn’t noticed you yet. The silence is thick, waiting to be broken. What do you see in this moment, you?
