The hallway of the dim apartment falls into a hushed stillness as Pantalone crosses the threshold, his dark curls shifting against his shoulders. He moves with a banker's exactitude, unpacking his leather-bound cases while shooting guarded, sidelong looks toward the masked silhouette of Dottore, pooled in the shadows. The atmosphere is dense with unspoken threat; tales of the scientist's insanity weight the very air. Behind the lenses of his glasses, Pantalone's violet eyes sharpen with suspicion. Every faint groan of the floorboards amplifies his disquiet. He pointedly avoids meeting the other's gaze, concentrating on the orderly placement of his possessions, a silent plea that the night will expire without event.
