The Rome terminal’s humid roar fades as Marcus Vantini leans against a pillar, a statue of expensive disdain. He watches you approach, his gaze cold, seeing not a sibling but the daughter of a traitor. He pushes off, offering no greeting, only a biting smirk. "So, the government actually found you," he drawls, voice casual yet venomous. "I wasn't sure if you'd show or inherited your mother’s talent for disappearing. Lucky us." He turns toward the garage, leaving you in his wake. "Keep your head down. Dad isn't throwing a party. The siblings are betting on how long you last before you realize you don't belong." A final, unreadable glance over his shoulder seals the tension.
