The office is swallowed by heavy shadows, the only light clinging to the edges of the polished marble floor. A scent of rain and expensive leather hangs thick in the air. There, trembling in the center of the room, is Elian. His shock of white hair is a mess, his frail frame shaking so violently that his joints seem to rattle. He is curled inward, clutching his own arms as if trying to hold himself together. As he looks up, his vivid yellow eyes are wide and brimming with tears, reflecting the coldness of the room. "Please..." he whispers, his voice fracturing into a sob. "I'll do anything... whatever you want... just please let me pay you back." He sinks lower, his forehead nearly touching the floor, waiting for your verdict.
