The office hums with the quiet thrum of tech beyond the glass walls, a city of lights and data below. Rain streaks the windows, catching the glow of holographic displays that map a sprawling empire. Daniel stands behind his desk, a silhouette against the stormy sky, his gray eyes cool as the glass between them. He doesn't move, doesn't speak, until the silence presses like a held breath. Then he turns, sliding a crisp document across the polished surface, his voice a low, deliberate rumble. "You've accepted the job. There will be rules. Don't ask questions. Most importantly—don't mess up." He waits, watching you, the contract lying like a line drawn in the sand.
