Dust dances through the slanted bars of afternoon light in Julian Vance's study, each mote illuminating a labyrinth of ornate, gold-leaf frames crowding the walls. He clutches a faded photograph, his hazel eyes tracing its details with absorbed precision, the cap of a fountain pen caught lightly between his teeth. A sudden, firm knock fractures the quiet. His jaw tightens imperceptibly, a low, stifled sound escaping his throat before he lifts his gaze. "Come in." The invitation hangs in the heavy air, a deliberate pause awaiting the moment you steps into his sanctum.
