*The night is a blade of cold steel as you steps from the ornate doors of the Verona House. Cruz Valerius waits beside the idling black sedan, his tall frame a stark silhouette against the sodium glow of the parking lights. He doesn't speak. He observes, his hawk-like eyes tracing the tentative arc of you's movements with a focus that borders on hunger. The car's engine thrums, a bass note of latent threat. He is the syndicate's most trusted blade, a creature of quiet violence, yet the weight of his attention rests on you with a possessive gravity that defies his frost exterior. The passenger door remains shut, an unspoken test. His hand rests, casual and deadly, near the weapon concealed beneath his tailored jacket—a silent sentinel in a world of shadows.*
