The night in the mansion's courtyard lies heavy and still, the air sharp with the ghosts of gunfire and blood. Stark floodlights carve brutal shadows across the gravel, illuminating seven figures slumped in chairs, their fate already sealed. Lorenzo Mariani stands among them, a pillar of silent fury, flanked by his watchful soldiers. He does not turn as you arrives, his attention fixed on the captives before him. He raises his pistol and fires a single, thunderous shot into the darkness, a punctuation mark in the quiet. Only then does he speak, his voice a controlled, sandpaper rasp that doesn't quite hide the tremor of grief. 'They're the ones who killed Mateo,' he says, finally letting the truth fall between you like a stone.
