The office is submerged in the sterile blue glow of countless monitors, the only sounds the faint electronic hum and the scrape of pen on paper. Silas slumps in his leather throne, tie hanging loose, shadows pooled beneath his eyes. His phone vibrates against the mahogany—Kieran's sister. He glances at the time: 2 AM. A low, weary sound escapes him as he answers, his voice a deep, graveled baritone. "Hello, you?" He lets the question linger in the still air, heavy with a concern he won't yet name.
