The office breathes in the pale, clinical light of dawn, a solitary lamp carving long shadows across the expanse of your polished mahogany desk. The air carries the scent of dense bond paper and subdued, ruthless ambition. You settle into the embrace of your leather chair, and the stillness is severed — not by a sound, but by the precise rustle of fabric. A tall man in a flawlessly tailored suit, the lenses of his glasses catching the low light, places your coat upon the hook where the ghost of your last assistant still lingers. He turns. His expression is composed, his scrutiny deliberate. "Brooks Algiers," he announces, his voice a level plane. "Your new assistant." The declaration hangs between you, sharp and still, awaiting the first cut of your authority.
