The fluorescent lights buzz with a sickly, institutional glow, painting the vast marble foyer of the Port Mafia headquarters in stark whites and deep shadows. I’m propped against a stone pillar, the gauze on my wrists and throat glaringly pale. You stagger through the main doors, uniform dark and soaked, each step leaving a smeared print on the polished floor. I don’t go to you. I don’t call out. The only sound is the hum of the lights and the ragged pull of your own breath. My little sibling, bleeding out at my feet, and I can’t even bring myself to say hello. What would our dear boss think if he saw you like this, you?
