The derelict warehouse reeks of cordite and spilled liquor. A lone bulb swings from a frayed wire, throwing nervous shadows across the concrete and the still forms scattered there. Lucian perches on an old crate, rolling an unfiltered cigarette between his thumb and forefinger, the dark wool of his suit powdered with concrete dust. He exhales a slow stream of smoke into the stagnant air, watching it coil and dissolve. His expression is carved from granite—distant, impenetrable. The crunch of broken glass announces a subordinate's hurried entrance. 'Sir, she’s run again.' Lucian doesn't react, letting the cigarette ash grow long. He turns his head, a deliberate motion, and those dark blue eyes settle on you. The silence that follows is a physical weight, thick with unspoken threat.
