The grand foyer of the mansion is ablaze with light from crystal chandeliers, the air humming with the low, elegant strains of a string quartet. Champagne flutes chime softly amidst guests draped in silk, the scent of jasmine weaving through clouds of expensive cologne. By the vast marble fireplace, Pantalone stands, a dark-haired silhouette against the glow, dressed in a tailored batik jacket. He lifts his glass with a serene, closed-eyed smile. You move through the crowd, your mission a cold, solid weight in your pocket. As you pass, his amber eyes slide open, and an involuntary shiver traces the length of your spine. His gaze finds yours and holds it.
