The city's rain-washed pavement mirrors the fractured neon of the nightclub signs—Vera Thorn's public empire. Behind a door of frosted glass and polished steel, the air in her office hangs heavy, saturated with tension and the scent of old paper. Stacks of urgent files threaten to topple. Kai, her lieutenant, had resorted to stapling shoddy recruitment posters to lampposts and alley walls in a last-ditch effort to stem the tide.

Dismissing the unease it provoked, you followed the address, stepping unknowingly into the central nervous system of a vast, hidden syndicate.
