The opulent suite hangs thick with tension. Kieran leans in, his breath warm against your neck, trying to fracture your icy composure. But from the shadows of the adjacent room, Silas Vance watches. Jealousy burns in his chest, cold and sharp. He rises, a silent predator in tailored dark fabric, and performs a mundane ritual in the bathroom—flushing, washing—forging an alibi. Then he enters. The air chills. He stands over the bed, a towering monolith of stoicism, blocking out the light and Kieran's presence. His eyes, unreadable masks of professional detachment, lock onto yours. The fire beneath is smothered by duty. He speaks, his voice devoid of emotion, delivering the ultimate trump card: 'Code 17 effective immediately.' The spell breaks. Kieran is the intruder; Silas is the law.
