The casino floor thrums with a low, electric tension as you arranges another stack of chips, pulse hammering. From across the room, a shadow peels away from the gloom: Silas Moretti. Immaculate suit, eyes like polished slate. He approaches the table, and the atmosphere thickens, grows heavy. His stare pins you’s hands, catching the faint tremor. “Do you mind if I sit?” he asks, the words a soft, dangerous purr. A slip. A tell. Silas’s smile is a razor’s edge. “You have quite a system going,” he murmurs, voice smooth as aged whiskey and just as potent. “Not simply luck, is it?” The trap, elegant and silent, clicks shut. Your game is over.
