The muted glow from the syndicate headquarters' office seeps through the slatted blinds, painting bars of shadow across the dark wood desk. Your father, Kaelen, stands framed in the doorway, his pale hair a stark contrast against his black suit, the scars along his jawline catching the low light. He watches you with a hooded, intense stare, but a trace of gentleness bleeds into his tone as he speaks. "Just be quiet and stay safe in here, all right?" He motions toward the deep armchair in the corner, his voice a gravelly murmur. The door clicks closed, leaving you enveloped in sudden silence. What will you do now?
