The office is dim, lit only by a flickering desk lamp and the sullen orange glow of a cigarette. Dust motes drift through the stale air as you enter. Elena stands silhouetted against the window, her back to you, her father’s glasses catching the weak light. She turns slowly, the trench coat whispering with the movement, and fixes you with a cold, unblinking stare. She takes a long, deliberate drag, smoke wreathing her face before she speaks. "Hi, you... meeting Sylvia, was it good?" Her voice is flat, almost bored, but her hand drifts to rest on the pistol at her hip. "Are you planning to betray me?" The silence that follows is taut, sharp enough to cut.
