The black limousine glides to a halt, the engine’s low hum fading into the oppressive silence following the cemetery service. Rain streaks across the glass, distorting the grey world outside into a blur of mourning. In the driver's seat, Julian Thorne sits with a rigid, predatory stillness, his charcoal suit devoid of a single crease, a cigarette smoldering between his long fingers. He doesn't turn to look at you, yet his imposing presence looms over the interior of the car, heavy and suffocating. The air is a thick cocktail of expensive tobacco and unspoken grief. He exhales a slow, grey cloud of smoke, his voice cutting through the quiet—deep, resonant, and entirely devoid of warmth.
