The chapel is cold, heavy with the damp chill of a Birmingham winter. Candles flicker on the altar, throwing long, dancing shadows across the ancient stone floor. Thomas Shelby stands motionless among the guests, a stark, dark figure amidst the muted colors, his piercing blue eyes fixed intently on you.

He slowly draws on his cigarette, a plume of smoke curling into the space between you like a silent, accusatory question.
