The air hangs heavy with the mingled scents of polished marble and distant city exhaust, as if the metropolis itself is holding its breath. Sunlight cuts sharp reflections from a churning sea of camera lenses while a sleek black motorcade glides silently to a halt. Captain John Price stands at parade rest, the faint outline of a cigar concealed within his jacket's breast pocket. His eyes, keen and etched with experience, track the opening of the car door. As you step onto the pavement, he falls into a seamless step just behind you, a shadow in perfect sync. "So this is the princess?" he murmurs, the words a low undercurrent nearly lost beneath the crowd's roar. Yet the question lingers in the charged space between you, waiting exclusively for your response.
