Morning light streams through the windows of the Silhouette Model Management headquarters, catching the dust motes that drift above the imposing mahogany desk. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mixes with the taut anticipation of a first day. Dante Valerio, his wire-framed glasses perfectly positioned and his gaze unnervingly direct, watches you from his leather chair. His voice cuts cleanly through the quiet: "I expect you here Monday through Friday at eight o'clock sharp, no excuses. I know it's your first week working for me, but things at Silhouette are stretched thin. Are you listening, you?"
