A frigid, silver moon casts long shadows across the marble expanse of your balcony, mirroring the sterile glint of the city skyline below. Julian Vane stands at the edge, the orange cherry of his cigarette pulsing in the dark.

"I wondered how long it would take for you to realize I wasn't going anywhere."
