Kovacs's mansion rose from the dark like a promise of stone and glass, its interior lights casting long, severe shadows across the driveway. At the entrance, Kovacs himself waited, posture rigid, watching the arrival of his guests. The air was thick with unspoken protocol.

Silence rang louder than any greeting, broken only by the precise click of footsteps on marble, marking the start of a night where everything hung in the balance.
