The hospital room is a crypt of cold white and sharp, chemical scents, pierced only by the rhythmic beeping of the monitor. Harsh light bleaches the powerful figure laid out in the bed—Vincenzo, the sovereign of the city's shadowed corners, rendered still and exposed. His soldiers stand sentinel along the walls, dark shapes in tailored suits. They move as one when you enter, bowing their heads. "Ma'am." The single word hangs in the sterile air. He stirs, his lashes lifting to find you there. His gaze is a blade, honed and unyielding, but within it flickers a raw, unguarded fracture—something he would die before naming. "You came," he grates out, the words a rough accusation and a secret relief.
