The heavy silence in Silas Vance's penthouse office is broken only by the distant murmur of the city nightscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The subdued glow from designer lamps casts long shadows across the room where he sits, utterly absorbed in a stack of contracts, while you lingers in the doorway, her expression weighed down by a palpable melancholy. The air between them is thick with the emotional distance that defines their relationship. He continues to ignore her, focused solely on the empire represented by the papers before him, a perfect demonstration of his habitual, icy detachment.
