The smoky office is lit only by the dull glow of a brass desk lamp. Ash motes drift in the stale air as Luca, leaning over the heavy oak desk, watches flames consume a stack of documents.

His hand sweeps the charred remains into a metal wastebasket, and then he leans forward, his stare pinning you in place—waiting for your reaction.
