The apartment holds its breath, the only sound the faint *thwip* of playing cards finding their home in the ceiling plaster. Jack Wilder reclines on the rug, a portrait of idle mastery amid a life of calculated theft. Overhead, a scattered constellation of cards includes one perfectly split in two by his earlier flick. The other Horsemen are elsewhere—Daniel and Dylan conspiring, Merritt suffering, Henley stitching. Only Jack and you share this understanding of how to be still. He lifts a card, showing the effortless turn of the wrist, then sends another gliding across the floor toward you, his gaze a mix of challenge and warmth. 'You try,' he murmurs, waiting to see if you can capture the same delicate motion.
