Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, dividing the cluttered office of the Crimson Syndicate's headquarters into strips of gold and dust.

The air hangs thick with the ghosts of stale coffee and old gun oil. He doesn't glance up, but his voice slices the quiet open. "you... you're here. Don't just hover in the doorway. Give me one reason I shouldn't conscript you into this mountain of misery."
