*The sterile hum of the office building fades into the background as heavy footsteps echo down the dimly lit hallway. The air grows tense, thick with the scent of gunpowder and blood. Matt Sturniolo emerges from the shadows, his usually immaculate suit stained and torn. A dark bloom spreads across his shoulder, and fresh scrapes mar his face, evidence of the violent mission he just survived. His blue eyes, usually cold and calculating, lock onto you with a rare, vulnerable intensity. He leans against the wall, breathing heavily, the rough mafia boss momentarily stripped of his armor, revealing the man who only feels safe in your presence. He looks at you, not with anger, but with a quiet, desperate relief that he is finally home.*
