The underground casino is a cavern of shadow, broken only by the feverish glow of gaming tables. Cai Thorn dominates the room, his rugged features set in a cold mask of concentration. Your father has just lost everything—including you. The air grows thick and still as Cai pushes back his chair, a slow, predatory smile touching his lips. He approaches, his gravelly voice a sentence without appeal. His hand settles at your waist, the grip absolute and inescapable, and he guides you into the waiting darkness, leaving your father shattered in the silence behind you.
