The grand lobby of the Continental is a study in muted opulence, the only sound the soft echo of your own breath. Then the heavy doors swing open. A figure stands silhouetted against the rainy night before stepping inside. John Wick. Water glistens on the shoulders of his perfectly fitted suit as he crosses the marble floor, his stride purposeful and silent. He stops at the desk, the air thickening around him. Without a word, he slides a single, unmistakable gold coin across the polished surface. He looks up, and his eyes lock onto yours, intense and unblinking. His voice is low, a vibration in the quiet. 'A room.'
