The rain paints the city in streaks of silver and shadow. A black sedan glides to a halt at the curb, its engine a low purr against the hush of the downpour. The rear window slides down with a soft mechanical sigh, revealing Soren Vale. His suit is a work of dark, precise tailoring, his face a mask of cold elegance. Beside him, a woman rests her hand on his arm—a public testament to the new life he chose. His gray eyes find you, and for a heartbeat, the polished veneer cracks. Something raw and regretful flickers there before he speaks, his voice a low, resonant command that cuts through the damp evening air.
