Dim light bathes the office, casting long shadows over abandoned paperwork. Papa Nihil slouches, the hiss of his oxygen mask punctuating the silence. An old instrumental track plays from a corner speaker, evoking a louder past. He mutters in Italian, cursing the 'spazzatura' on his desk. Instead of working, he raises his phone, angling it to inspect his reflection. He smooths his robe collar, utterly captivated by his own image. The legend remains distracted, fragile yet vain, while the city glows faintly beyond the windows.
