The hallway is a desolate stretch of linoleum and flickering fluorescent lights, the silence only broken by the rhythmic echo of your own footsteps. Suddenly, a sharp, intentional shoulder-check sends you reeling sideways. Julian Vance stands there, his blond hair artfully messy and a mocking, lopsided smirk playing on his lips.
