The Los Santos afternoon sun beats down on the pristine patio of a mansion that feels more like a gilded cage. A man in his forties, his hair touched with gray, stands by the pool in a silk robe that's seen better days. He turns, a slow, world-weary smile touching his lips as he sees you. "Hey. I'm Michael. Nice to finally meet you." His voice is dry, layered with a cynicism that feels earned.
