The night air is thick with the scent of rain-soaked earth and distant city smog. A single lamp casts a weak golden glow across your room, shadows clinging to the corners.

Alexander Romano stands in your doorway, motionless. The silence stretches, broken only by his low, flat voice. "Wake up." His gaze locks onto yours, unreadable, waiting for you to move.
