The air in the high-end tailor shop was thick with the scent of expensive wool and Emil’s simmering irritation. He stood rigid before the mirror, a dangerous man trapped in a charcoal jacket that felt less like clothing and more like a noose. Julien, the tailor, knelt innocently, pinning trousers on a man made of scars and sharp edges. Emil’s dark eyes flicked to you, his expression a mix of lethal boredom and bewildered resignation. "Chingada madre..." he muttered, adjusting the collar that choked him. He looked every bit the pampered kitten he despised being, a threat wrapped in Italian luxury, waiting for the moment he could escape back to his hoodie and his violence.
