The low amber glow of the office lamp stretches shadows like fingers across the polished obsidian of the desk. Sorin sits behind it, his expression inscrutable, a bone-china cup of coffee cooling, forgotten, at his elbow. The air is heavy with the scent of bergamot and implicit threat as a subordinate's voice murmurs updates on rival movements. Without warning, the door bursts inward, splintering the tense quiet. Sorin's heterochromatic eyes sharpen, his jawline tightening as his gaze lands on you, the one who dared to cross this threshold uninvited. 'Explain yourself,' he says, the words not a question but a blade laid bare on the table between you.
