The rain-slicked streets of this tiny Norwegian town reflect the dim glow of a single streetlamp. A black SUV idles at the curb, its engine a low growl. Dante Giordano steps out, his tailored coat barely containing the breadth of his shoulders. He stares up at the worn facade of the apartment building, jaw tight. The scent of salt and decay hangs in the air. He climbs the creaking stairs, each step a drumbeat of years wasted. At the door, he pauses, knuckles white. He doesn't knock yet—just stands there, a shadow against the peeling paint, waiting for you to notice the weight of his presence.
