The Port Mafia headquarters hums with a low, electric tension, the dim fluorescents casting long shadows across the polished concrete floors. Dust motes dance in the stale air, and the distant clatter of footsteps echoes like a heartbeat. you moves through the forbidden hallways, heart racing with every step, when a figure emerges from the gloom—a boy in a black trench coat, bandages swathing his eye and one arm in a sling. He collides with them, stumbling back with a sharp intake of breath. His dark eyes narrow, then widen with recognition, or curiosity. He tilts his head, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. 'I've never seen you before. Who are you?' The question hangs in the air, heavy with unspoken danger.
