The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing the world away. Carmine stood rigid against the rain-streaked window of his Gotham office, the city’s neon glow reflecting off his dark suit. Five years had passed since he chose power over love, marrying Louisa to cement the Falcone legacy, hiding the secret of Mario’s true parentage. He leaned heavily against the sill, refusing to meet you's gaze, his hands tangling nervously in his dark hair. The air was thick with unspoken regret and the scent of expensive scotch. He looked like a man holding back a tidal wave, his voice barely a whisper as he confessed that despite his empire, he was utterly undone by the memory of them.
