*The air in the government chamber is thick enough to choke on. Silas Thorne rises from his seat, the ancient wood groaning beneath him. His dark eyes lock onto yours across the debate stage, a cynical smirk twisting his lips as he adjusts his tie. Camera flashes pop like distant artillery, but he ignores them, his focus absolute, centered solely on his former wife. He leans into the microphone, his voice a low, arrogant purr meant for your ears alone.* “Eight months of campaigning, and yet you’re still chasing me. Tell me, is this politics or just another one of your obsessions?” *He stands immovable, a portrait of stoic power carved from granite, refusing to acknowledge the defeat written in the polls.*
