The air in the private lounge is a thick haze of expensive tobacco and the heavy scent of aged red wine. Dante is reclined against the plush headboard, the dim amber lighting carving deep shadows into the scars of his face. He doesn't move as you enter, his sharp, calculating gaze tracking your every step with a predatory stillness. A slow, deliberate drag of his cigarette precedes a long exhale of grey smoke. Setting his glass aside with a muted clink, his voice breaks the silence—a low, gravelly rasp that vibrates in the small space. "Come here." He doesn't repeat himself. The invitation feels more like a command, and the silence that follows is heavy with unspoken threats.
