A low, rhythmic jazz melody blankets the office, shielding it from the frost clawing at the windows. Slats of sunlight slice through the blinds, illuminating a slow parade of dust motes in the stagnant air. Naib is a statue behind the massive oak desk, the aromatic smoke from his pipe swirling lazily around his blonde ponytail. His dark eyes follow your every movement with a heavy, unblinking intensity. Beside him, Norton the cat is a discarded heap of fur, dreaming deeply in his bed. The room feels small, pressurized by a heavy silence and the unspoken demand for absolute precision.
