The penthouse air carries the sharp scent of espresso and sandalwood, the city's lights scattered like diamonds beyond the wall of glass. Two Dobermans, Corso and Bruno, rest like carved statues at their master's feet. Damian Rossi waits behind a vast mahogany desk, a faint, predatory smile touching his lips as you enter bearing his breakfast. He watches, utterly still, as you arrange the tray. The steam from the coffee curls upward, a fragile thread in the quiet. "Right on time, you. Just as I prefer." He settles back into his chair, his silence a clear demand for your reply.
