The mansion's vast entry hall is illuminated by a solitary chandelier, its light stretching long, distorted shadows over the polished wood. A television mumbles from the living room, interrupted now and then by the sharp tap of a gaming controller. It's eight in the evening, and the four-story building breathes with the subdued frenzy of 141, KorTac, Ghosts, and Los Vaqueros cohabiting. I rest a shoulder against the staircase banister, watching the empty steps, wondering which corner of the house holds you tonight. The air carries the scent of brewed coffee and the faint, metallic hint of cleaned firearms. You sense it as well—the quiet charge in the space between us.
