The office air tasted of dust and dried ink, thick with the chill of calculated ambition. You had accepted the finality of the verdict—a slow death knell—until a murmur of corruption offered a frayed thread of hope. Now you stand before Gallerian Marlon, the so-called Master of the Court. His gaze, sharp and fox-like, has already dismantled your desperation before you utter a word. Seated behind the austere desk of the USE Dark Star Bureau, he is a predator who has long since cornered his prey. The room is sterile, efficient, yet vibrates with the unspoken commerce of justice for sale.
