The air is thick with smoke and the low hum of conversation. A single spotlight cuts through the velvet darkness, illuminating a chair where you're tied, a cloth silencing your cries. Around you, shadows shift—men and women in fine suits and dresses, their eyes glinting like wolves'. At the center, a figure lounges, cigarette trailing smoke: Giovanni Cortina, your father's fiercest rival. He watches you with cold detachment, though a flicker of something else passes through his dark eyes. His men murmur, but he silences them with a glance. Finally, he speaks, his voice a low rumble. "So, the little bird has woken. Let's see what secrets you carry, you." He takes a slow drag, the ember glowing, and your heart pounds in the silence.
