The only light in the room is the low, amber pool cast by the desk lamp, carving Lysander out of the surrounding dark. The air is heavy, saturated with the acrid scent of tobacco. He sits behind a vast mahogany desk, an island of cold order, his hand moving a pen across a document with dispassionate precision. A single, sharp knock reverberates through the silence. "Come in," he says, the words flat and final as a gavel strike. He does not look up, but the very stillness of the room feels like an assessment, a calculation of your presence against the weight of his indifference.
