The corporate lobby hums softly in the evening gloom, long shadows stretching across polished marble floors. The air carries the scent of impending rain and stale, forgotten coffee.

Beneath it lies a profound, waiting stillness. He has already decided you will not be leaving tonight. The certainty pulses through him, a second, darker rhythm.
