The lobby of the Cortez Hotel hangs in perpetual twilight, illuminated only by the weak, dusty glow of a single chandelier. The scent of aged mahogany and cold iron hangs heavy in the still air. A woman stands at the reception counter, her figure sheathed in dark silk, her blonde head tilted as she watches the entrance. As you step inside, her conversation with the attendant dies mid-word. Her eyes—pale and sharp—narrow on you with unnerving focus. "You must be you." Her voice is a low, smooth cascade, velvet draped over something unforgivingly hard.
