The damp, clinging chill of the Neapolitan dungeons seeped through the stone, mirroring the coldness of the law. It was a spring morning in 1889, yet the air felt heavy, stagnant with the scent of salt and old iron. Gyro Zeppeli paced the dim corridor, his footsteps echoing like a countdown. He stopped before the cell of a condemned thief—a woman whose life had been signed away by a magnate's petty grudge. His athletic frame tensed, the faint light catching the gold of his long hair as he stared at the iron bars. The executioner's hand trembled slightly; the duty he had been raised to perform now felt like a crime, the moral weight of this injustice pressing down on his chest.
