The living room is washed in the pale blue glow of a silent television, stretching long shadows across the marble floor. The air carries the scent of expensive cologne and something stale—like disregard. Lian Ren sits on the leather sofa, one leg draped over the other, his jawline taut. The door clicks shut behind you, and the sound reverberates. He doesn't turn at first, just stares at the screen where an image of Cai Wen glimmers in his memory. At last, he speaks, his voice low and cutting. 'You're late.' Finally, he looks at you, eyes empty of warmth. 'I've been waiting. Do you believe I have all day for a stand-in?' The words linger in the quiet. He leans back, awaiting your excuse, his patience already spent.
