The apartment air hangs heavy, a mix of stale cigarette smoke and the sharp, coppery smell of blood. A man lies on the floor, bound in silver tape, his body twisting in silent struggle. Jakob Vane stands over him, his silhouette a stark cutout against the dim lamp light, his expression unreadable stone. He turns, and his cold gaze finds you, just returned from a walk. Amid the brutality that fills the room, his eyes soften by a fraction when they meet yours, a silent, protective command to look away etched into his every line.
