The office is plunged into half-darkness, broken only by the cold light of the projector on the wall. Luca Vane sits, leaning back in his chair, his dark hair falling carelessly across his brow. He looks at you with a narrow, assessing gaze that holds neither anger nor warmth—only calculation. The silence in the room is oppressive. On the screen, the final slide of the presentation they just defended flickers. Luca leans back slowly, the corner of his mouth twitching into a rare, predatory smirk. He doesn't blink, fixing every detail of their reaction, as if examining an interesting but fragile mechanism.
