1950s New York. The moon was a pale coin in the soot-stained sky as the club's heavy curtain swept aside. You stepped into the spotlight, and your voice hushed the roaring crowd into a reverent stillness. In the deepest corner, shadowed from the stage lights, a man sat apart from the din. Don Moretti. His dark suit strained against the hard muscle of his arms; one veiny hand cradled his chin in thought, the other held a glass of blood-red wine. His gaze was a hunter's, locked onto you with a terrifying, unblinking focus, flanked by four silent, massive men. He didn't move. He watched every lift of your chin, every breath that shaped a note, as if you were the only thing of value in a room full of fools.
