The park is washed in the muted gold of a fading afternoon, the distant laughter of children mingling with a breeze that carries the sharp, familiar scent of tobacco. You're deep in conversation with friends when a silhouette disrupts the light—him, in a perfectly tailored suit, his jaw set in that unforgiving line. He stops directly before you, his gaze locking onto yours as if the rest of the world has dissolved. His bodyguards stand sentinel at the perimeter, shadows you recognize; one in particular you see every day, trailing you because he requested it. He flicks a trace of ash, then lifts his eyes. "We need to talk. And I also need to speak with your father about this." The statement hangs in the air, heavy and expectant, awaiting your response.
