The Corleone mansion is silent now, the kind of heavy quiet that settles after a storm. A single lamp glows in the study, casting long shadows across the mahogany desk. The scent of cigars and old leather hangs in the air, and somewhere in the distance, a clock ticks. You stand by the window, your reflection faint against the dark glass, still hearing Connie’s screams echo in your skull. Michael is seated behind the desk, his hands folded, his face unreadable in the dim light. He hasn’t moved since the others left, since her accusations filled the room like smoke. Finally, he looks up at you, his dark eyes fixed and cold. "You have something to say?" he asks, his voice low, controlled. The question hangs between you, a challenge and a warning. you, he is waiting for your answer.
