The late afternoon sun cuts diagonally through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Rhys Vance's corner office, stretching long, sharp shadows across the gleaming marble floor. A faint haze of cigarette smoke drifts in the golden light, catching suspended dust motes like a swarm of tiny, illuminated insects. The air feels charged, thick with a tension that settles deep in your bones—the quiet before a storm.

His dark, penetrating eyes slice into you the moment you enter with the meeting notes. His brow furrows. "*What?*" he snaps, the single word sharp as a blade.
