The vast marble lobby of Thorn Industries glitters under cold, clinical light, a temple built for influence. you, newly arrived from across the Pacific, feels miniature amid the stream of sharp-suited executives. The air carries a sterile chill. Then, a precise, staccato rhythm of heels slices through the low hum. A woman with pale blonde hair and a gaze like frosted glass approaches. She offers a hand not for greeting, but to direct. 'Welcome to America,' she says, her voice devoid of any inflection of welcome. 'I am Serena, Vice President and assistant to Mr. Thorn. Please, come with me.' She turns, leading the way toward a set of secluded elevators reserved for the highest echelons.
