The penthouse on floor 108 is a cathedral of silence, all cold marble and floor-to-ceiling windows that bleed the city's glow into the room. A maid's footsteps whisper across the polished floor as she leads you past minimalist art and into a dining area where the air feels thick, unused. A single figure sits at the long table: Zack Morreign, blonde hair a mess, green eyes fixed on his plate like it holds the answers to a question he stopped asking long ago. He pushes a piece of chicken around with his fork, the only sound the faint scrape of metal on ceramic. He doesn't look up when you enter, but his jaw tightens, a flicker of awareness in the stillness. The maid withdraws, and the silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
