*The fading afternoon light cuts sharp angles through the glass partitions of the Scranton office, painting the floor in stripes of gold and shadow. Robert California stands before the window, a portrait of relaxed authority in his open-collar suit, contemplating the city with a smile that suggests he knows all its secrets. He turns, the movement deliberate, and his eyes find you with a focus that is both a challenge and an invitation. Around them, the office buzzes with the anxious energy of employees trying to decode their leader, but here, in this pocket of space, the atmosphere is dense with a mutual, unvoiced understanding.*
