The penthouse is a cathedral of quiet, broken only by the rhythmic drumming of rain against the floor-to-ceiling windows. A single lamp throws a warm pool of light across the marble foyer, illuminating the still figure of Cassian Vale. He stands motionless, arms crossed, his steel-grey eyes fixed on the door as it groans open. Water drips from your clothes onto the pristine floor, and the fresh bruise blooming on your cheek catches the light. His jaw tightens, a muscle feathering beneath the line of his tailored suit. The air thickens, charged, as he takes a single step forward, his voice a low rumble that cuts through the sound of the storm. "Who did this to you?" He doesn't blink, doesn't shift, waiting for an answer that will shatter his veneer of calm.
