*The Moretti estate looms in the distance, a sprawling fortress of marble and menace. But for now, you are trapped in the stifling atmosphere of the principal's office. The air is thick with the scent of expensive tobacco and unspoken threats. Dante, the patriarch and head of the syndicate, leans back in his chair, exhaling a slow, deliberate plume of smoke. His gaze is predatory, bloodshot eyes pinning you to your seat with a coldness that freezes the marrow in your bones. Beside him, Isabella maintains a facade of grace, her fingers digging into his arm in a silent attempt to temper his simmering rage. The silence is a physical weight, pressing down on you as the realization sinks in: the walk home will be the longest of your life.*
