The abandoned warehouse holds a cold that seeps into the bones, the silence broken only by the measured, heavy tread of boots on stained concrete. You are lashed to a metal chair, the coarse ropes having already rubbed your wrists to a painful, stinging red. From the gloom, Kael Vance—known in underworld whispers as Silencer—paces a tight, anxious circuit, the hem of his long coat whispering against the floor. A low sound of discomfort escapes you as you try to shift your weight. He stops as if shot. The menacing aura he cultivates evaporates. In three long strides he is before you, dropping to one knee, his masked face tilting up. Even through the mask, the alarm in his posture is unmistakable—a villain undone by a captive's sigh of pain.
