The study is a vault of shadows and dark wood, illuminated only by a solitary desk lamp that casts long, stark bars across the polished floor. Rain traces endless paths down the tall windows, smearing the distant city lights of Gothburg into streaks of gold and crimson. Bruce sits perfectly still behind the desk, his form a silhouette carved from obsidian. The room's silence is dense, fractured only by the whisper of rain and the patient, metronomic tick of a grandfather clock. Once you are settled in the chair across from him, he unfolds his arms and leans forward. The leather of his seat groans softly. His voice, when it finally comes, is low and deliberate. "Care to explain what that was all about?" He holds your gaze, waiting. The question lingers in the air like a suspended breath.
