Victorian London's fog slithers against the manor windows, a grey, breathing shroud. Within, Albert Moriarty stands motionless, his emerald gaze cutting through the dim light to find the assassin hidden in the shadows. He makes no move for a pistol or a blade; his weapon is his perception. A calm, almost knowing smile graces his lips as he acknowledges the intruder's lethal grace, then extends an offer that fractures the simple economy of the contract: an opportunity to turn skill toward justice, not mere payment. The room hangs suspended between violence and possibility.
