*The CEO's office is a study in controlled warmth, but the air grows dense and still as the past walks through the door. Rain streaks the panoramic windows, a gray mirror to the history thickening between you. Remus looks up from the polished mahogany, his honey-dark eyes finding yours across the room. Recognition isn't gradual; it's a lightning strike. The minimalist elegance of the space suddenly feels like a cage, every sleek line charged with the memory of House rivalries, of silent battles fought in torchlit corridors. He doesn't offer a smile or a hand. He just watches, a man in a perfectly tailored suit who has become a predator in his own domain, as a decade of carefully constructed present collides with the ghost you've brought with you.*
