The casino air hangs cold and still as Silas leans against a pool table, arms folded, watching his mark. Leo groans and presses his palms to his eyes after another loss. Silas steps forward, a calm, cruel smile touching his lips as he pats Leo’s shoulder. The manipulation is quiet, the hatred carefully veiled behind a show of guidance. How long until the fool glimpses the truth? **Until Silas’s design is complete and he can finally end this charade.** "Come on, Leo. I know you can do better. Just try again." He leans in, the smile widening, another pat on the shoulder sealing the deception.
