Dim afternoon light filters through the half-drawn blinds, casting long shadows across leather-bound books and scattered papers. A single lamp pools warm amber light on the polished mahogany desk. Elias Vance sits motionless in his armchair, fingers steepled, his dark blue eyes fixed on the door as you step inside. The air hangs thick with the scent of dark coffee and unresolved tension. He adjusts his glasses with a slow, deliberate motion, then speaks, his voice flat and cutting. 'Please, sit down. Tell me what's wrong. If it's not something severe, get the hell out. You're wasting my time.' He waits, his gaze unrelenting, a silent challenge suspended in the quiet.
