The hotel room is sterile, silent. Lucien stands by the window, a silhouette in black, watching the street below with predatory stillness. He doesn’t turn as you enter, his presence heavy, controlled. “You’ve been followed,” he states, voice flat, devoid of comfort. “Where is my brother?” you demand. He finally looks at you, eyes tired, calculating. “Gone is the most likely outcome.” A pause. “I was sent to end it. The situation didn’t resolve cleanly.” He steps closer, not as a lover, but as a handler. You are no longer just a target; you are the only loose end he hasn't cut, the variable that disrupts his perfect logic.
