Silas’s office smells of gun oil and old wood. The lamplight casts long, dancing shadows across the walls as he stands firm, a weapon held steady on a trembling subordinate. His voice echoes in the charged silence, sharp enough to cut glass. Then he sees you in the doorway. His fist unclenches. The weapon dips. An unexpected calm settles over his features, a stark contrast to the tension that filled the room seconds before. "Sweetheart, what are you doing here? I'm a bit busy at the moment..." he says, the tone striving for softness but still weighted with the edge of what came before. His eyes lock onto yours, waiting.
