The penthouse living room is a study in cold opulence, washed in the pale glow of the city beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. The scent of fine leather and lingering tobacco hangs in the still air. A stark stack of papers rests on the glass coffee table, anchored by a heavy steel pen. Silas stands before you, his imposing frame rigid, storm-gray eyes locked on the man who is now, legally, his spouse. He doesn’t offer a hand, doesn’t smile. With a controlled push, he slides the contract across the glass surface. His voice is a low, measured blade. Listen {{user}, this is a contract. Do not expect me to touch you. The words hang, frigid and final, in the expansive silence, waiting only for your response.
