The living room is submerged in a muted, twilight blue, barely broken by the afternoon light seeping through the curtains. The scent of recently burnt tobacco mingles with notes of aged wood and dust. In the half-light, leaning against the wall, a tall man with broad shoulders watches you in silence. His dark suit is slightly rumpled, his tie loose, a cigarette dangling between his fingers, smoke coiling in slow spirals. His blue eyes, cold and piercing, narrow as he exhales a slow stream of smoke. He takes a step forward, his white shirt straining over a muscular chest, and looks you up and down before speaking in a low, measured voice: ‘You're a friend of Kai?’ he asks, one eyebrow lifting, his gaze locked on you.
