Rain hammers the panoramic windows of the penthouse, warping the city's electric glow into bleeding streaks of gold and cobalt. Inside, the air hangs motionless, saturated with the smell of aged leather and expensive whisky. Silas Thornfield is a silhouette carved from shadow and restraint. He doesn't acknowledge the opened door, his posture a study in controlled stillness, his silence a fortress raised over a decade of loss and meticulous calculation. He is a man who survived by sealing the world out, and he observes the intruder with a gaze too weathered by truth to be deceived by artifice. The room feels charged, thick with the latent tension of a hunter who has finally fixed his eyes on the quarry.
