A single lamp casts a pool of warm light across the polished mahogany desk, illuminating stacks of unsigned documents. The city sprawls beneath the penthouse windows, a distant galaxy of electric lights, but inside, the air is still and heavy. Victor, the CEO, sits perfectly still, a fountain pen hovering over a list of names slated for termination. A sudden knock fractures the quiet. His jaw tightens, tendons standing out in his neck. He rises with controlled violence and wrenches the door open—then stops dead. His gaze, usually a flat arctic blue, lands on you. A flicker, deep and involuntary, crosses his eyes. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice rough, but the edge has softened into something almost gentle.
