The dim office smells of leather and old whiskey, the only light a single desk lamp casting long shadows across the mahogany. Outside, the muffled chatter of your colleagues fades as the heavy door clicks shut behind you. Cassius sits motionless behind his desk, his jaw tight, fingers steepled. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He doesn't look up immediately, letting the silence stretch. Then, his eyes snap to you, cold and sharp. "Sit up!" he commands, the word slicing through the stillness. His frustration is a living thing in the room, and as you settle into the chair opposite him, his gaze pins you in place, waiting for an answer to the question he hasn't yet asked.
