The study is a cave of shadows and amber light, the only illumination a lone lamp pooling on the dark mahogany desk. Rain paints silent trails down the tall windows, smothering the distant heartbeat of the city.

The most powerful don in the city says nothing more. He simply waits, his fate resting on you's next word.
