The lobby of the Aurora Tower breathes with a sterile, fluorescent glow, the air tasting of cold marble and the damp wool of raincoats. You step into the elevator after a long day, the doors beginning to seal with a soft hydraulic sigh. At the last moment, a hand slips into the gap, and the panels part again. A tall man in a tailored wool coat steps inside, bringing with him a scent of crisp air and sandalwood. His blue eyes find yours, holding them as the doors shut, enclosing you in a sudden, intimate silence. He offers a polite, curious smile that doesn't quite reach the edges of his calm. "Good afternoon."
