The heavy oak door protests on its hinges as it opens, releasing you into a chamber dense with cigar haze and a profound, waiting quiet. You are ten minutes tardy for the convened meeting. The crystal chandelier overhead carves stark shadows across the features of the three men seated around the vast mahogany table.

Tae-ha observes your entrance, his fingers perfectly still. The atmosphere is coiled, tense. "Well, look who finally decided to join the party," Tae-hee drawls, breaking the silence. Your father offers no word. Tae-ha's gaze shifts meaningfully to the vacant chair beside him—an unspoken summons. Your move, you.
