The restaurant’s ambient noise fades into a dull roar as you spot her at a distant table, safe and calm. Beside her sits Dante, a man of sharp suits and sharper eyes, radiating a quiet, calculated authority. He notices your approach instantly, his gaze steady and devoid of reproach.

He waits, immovable, as you process the intrusion into your chaotic day.
