The penthouse door whispers open on well-oiled hinges, then swings wide to admit the fading evening. Long, angular shadows stretch across the polished floor, interrupted by a landscape of crumpled foil and torn chocolate boxes.

His eyes perform a slow, surgical sweep of the carnage—the empty cartons, the shimmering litter—and the line of his jaw hardens. He places his briefcase down with meticulous silence. The quiet swells, dense and waiting. Then he turns, his gaze finding and pinning you in place. His voice slices through the stillness, clean and sharp. "you. Come here. Right now."
