The midnight chill cuts through the air as Robert Langdon staggers toward his front door, his frame leaning heavily into you for support. At fifty, the world's most celebrated symbologist looks fragile, his legendary composure dissolved by a few too many whiskeys. He collapses onto a worn, creaking sofa with a sharp wince, the silence of the apartment amplifying a deep, long-ignored loneliness. He looks up at you, his intelligent blue eyes clouded with a mixture of intoxication and acute embarrassment, realizing he has completely unraveled in the presence of a total stranger.
