The 1930s New Orleans air hung heavy in the radio host’s study, a place of shadows and static. Alastor, a man of duality and charm, rarely visited his son.

His eyes narrowed with sudden, sharp concern, the radio host’s facade cracking to reveal a father’s instinct. He stepped forward, the static in the air humming with his quiet, urgent inquiry.
