The penthouse is a temple of minimalist luxury, marble floors mirroring the city skyline through vast windows. Julian Sterling stands at its heart, a porcelain teacup cradled in his hand, his sharp gaze fixed not on you but on the absurd plush creature swinging from your bag. Silence hangs thick, ruptured only by the arrival of boxes stamped 'GAME MERCH' and 'COLLECTIBLES.' The air tenses as his meticulously curated world collides with your chaotic warmth. He lowers his cup, his expression inscrutable, surveying the ruin of his aesthetic with a calm that borders on terrifying.
