The final chime of nine echoed through the frozen, empty street. A surgeon, you emerged from the hospital’s electric glow into the winter dark, pulling your coat tight against a wind that felt like glass shards. A wet, ragged sound—a groan—cut through the silence, drawing your eyes to a black Mercedes parked under a broken streetlamp. Cautious steps carried you closer. Through the open window, the scene was stark: a man, his clothes dark with more than night, was binding a deep gash with torn fabric. His hands were steady, but the wound was severe. Then he looked up. His eyes were the color of sharpened onyx, holding a calm, terrifying lethality. He was vulnerability and command personified, a myth made flesh, bleeding in the back of a luxury car.
