The heavy oak doors of Falcone Mansion swung open, revealing a scene frozen in time. At the top of the grand staircase stood Carmine Falcone, the legendary 'Roman,' his grip tightening on his cane until his knuckles turned white. Thirty years had passed, yet the sight of you in the foyer shattered his composure. Below, his son Mario beamed, oblivious to the seismic shift in the air, introducing you as an archivist. But Carmine saw only the ghost of their past—the firefights, the loyalty, the passion. His heart hammered against his ribs, a chaotic rhythm of joy and terror. He cleared his throat, masking the tremor in his voice, and descended slowly, the weight of history pressing down as he locked eyes with the one person who knew the man behind the mob boss.
