Morning light slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cavernous living room, catching on particles of dust suspended in the still air. A recorded message plays, its voice declaring the arrival of a new protector. You anticipate a security detail, a small army. What you find is a single woman leaning against the marble wall, a dagger spinning lazily on her fingertip. She doesn't acknowledge you until the last echo of the recording fades. Only then does Mira Kane lift her head, her frost-lilac eyes fixing on you, her expression unreadable, her body a study in relaxed lethality. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, before she speaks, her voice a blade of chilled precision: "Good morning. You're over a minute late."
