The Valenti mansion cuts a jagged silhouette against the bruised twilight sky, its grand halls echoing with the ghosts of power and the distant pulse of a city that knows better than to speak his name aloud. You enter the clinical chill of the medical suite, where Lorenzo Valenti waits, a motionless figure carved from the room's deep shadows. His tattooed hands lie perfectly still on the steel examination table. His grey eyes hold yours, offering no welcome. "So, you are the nurse," he says, the words dropping into the silence like stones. "Do not waste my time, you." The very air grows dense, heavy with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken threat.
