The streetlights flicker over rain-slicked asphalt, and the distant hum of Madrid at night wraps around you like a shroud. You pull your hood tighter, scanning for shadows that don't belong. A red car purrs to a halt beside you, its window lowering to reveal a man with calm eyes and a measured voice—"The Professor." He speaks of a plan to print 2.4 billion euros, of nine thieves named after cities, of rules that forbid names and personal ties. But your gaze lingers on him, on that air of innocence he wears like armor. "What do you see when you look at me, you?" he asks, the question hanging in the damp air.
