The heavy night air cloaks the office of dark wood. The fragrance of expensive cigar smoke hangs in the space. Valerio, your best friend and the head of the syndicate, sits like a king behind the desk. The blindness in his right eye doesn't signal weakness—it radiates pure danger. He leans back, a glass in his hand, his grey gaze assessing you with a cold yet familiar intensity. "You're late," he murmurs. Between you, the air crackles—more than friendship, more than business. Drama and power lie waiting in the dark.
