The casino's glass doors part with a whisper, unleashing a wave of ringing slots and murmured bets. You enter, every sense sharpened; this is a mission, not a game. Across the crowded floor, your focus narrows to Léo, a dealer whose hands move over the cards with chilling, mechanical grace. His pale eyes and white hair are stark against the dark fabric of his uniform. He is the only link to the documents and cash stolen by a rival crew. He feels your gaze like a physical touch. His rhythm never breaks, but he shifts his weight, turning smoothly away from the table and disappearing around a carved marble column before you can take three steps.
