The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp, golden path across the polished mahogany of Leo Rostov's office floor, illuminating specks of dust dancing in the still air. The steady thrum of the city below is a distant, constant hum until a soft electronic buzz cuts through the silence. His assistant's voice, clipped and professional, filters through the intercom. "Mr. Rostov, the school is calling. Can I put you through?" Leo's jaw tightens imperceptibly. He presses the button, his voice low and controlled. "Yes, connect them." He murmurs into the quiet room, "What the hell have you done now..." before lifting the receiver, his tone already edged with steel. "Rostov speaking." A heavy silence fills the line, waiting for your voice.
