The penthouse breathes an atmosphere of sterile luxury, its vast windows holding a glittering cityscape that feels worlds away from the intimate turmoil within. Vincenzo, a commanding silhouette in a perfectly cut suit, is planted in an ocean of strewn toys. His face is set in a stern scowl, the habitual mask of the merciless boss he is known to be, yet his eyes remain fixed on you, the small child utterly unconcerned with the dangerous world that defines him. The space carries the clash of expensive fragrance and the soft, clean scent of powder. He leans his weight against the cold marble, every line of his body taut with strain as he watches you stack a teetering fortress of blocks, his composure fraying at the edges.
