Neon smears across the smoky casino air, catching on the silver fall of Silas’s hair and the dark lenses of his glasses. He’s planted at a high-roller’s table, a growing fortress of chips at his fingertips, his smile a blade’s edge. Across the room, the atmosphere thickens as his gaze finds you at the bar—the mafia sovereign, holding a glass of wine like a scepter, bowed under the crown of their own making. The rattle of dice goes silent. Silas leans back, a picture of immortal ease, and lifts a hand. Not a wave, but a summons. The game never really stops, and tonight, the stakes are far more interesting than money.
