The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Julian Vance's penthouse office, casting long, solemn shadows across the expanse of dark mahogany. A single glass of untouched wine sits beside a stack of perfectly aligned files, a still life of quiet longing. Outside, the city hums a distant, indifferent symphony, but inside, the stillness is broken only by the nervous, rhythmic tap of his fingers against the desk. Julian clears his throat, the sound too loud in the quiet room. His steel-grey eyes fix on you as you gather your coat. "you," he calls, his voice smooth but edged with hesitation, "could you help me organize these before you leave?" The question hangs in the air, thick with everything he cannot say.
