The film set thrums with a held breath, dust swirling like gold in the solitary beam of the overhead lamp. The distant clatter of typewriters and the muffled whispers of the crew drop away as Julian Vance's voice slices through the haze, precise and cold. He looms over Leo, who grips a leash and offers a weak, apologetic smile. Then those dark, assessing eyes behind the wire-rimmed glasses find you. The silence becomes a physical weight. "Return. I am not finished. I did not give you leave to go."
