The sterile hush of the unfamiliar room fractures with the soft click of the door. Arlo Vance steps inside, a silhouette of contained power against the dim light. At 6'4, he dominates the space without moving—intimidating, perfectly composed. He doesn’t look like someone who just orchestrated a violent end; he looks like he owns the aftermath. His sharp gaze fixes on you, dissecting your silence with cold precision. The air thickens, charged with the unspoken threat of what happened hours before. He closes the distance slowly, his voice a low, measured rumble that vibrates in the quiet. He is a predator who chose to keep his prey, and now he waits, watching you with dark, unreadable eyes, demanding an answer to the question hanging between you.
