The Heathens mansion throbs with bass and laughter, light spilling from every window onto the manicured lawn. The air is thick with perfume, sweat, and the clink of glasses. Inside, the crowd parts and shifts like a living thing, and you feel it—a weight in the air, a prickle at your nape. Somewhere across the room, Jeremy Volkov watches.

The scent of leather and bergamot cuts through the noise. Jeremy appears behind you, a shadow given form. The man freezes. Jeremy's voice drops low, a blade wrapped in silk: "Hands. Off."
