Rain drums a steady rhythm on the corroded roof, the air thick with the scent of wet concrete and decay. A single bulb swings, casting frantic shadows. Your back hits the ground with a jarring impact, the breath knocked from your lungs. Cassian Vane looms over you, one knee pinning your leg, the barrel of his pistol a chilling anchor beneath your chin. His gaze—dark, calculating, and utterly captivated—locks onto yours. "Who are you?" he asks, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the patter of rain. In that suspended second, the mission, the danger, all of it blurs into the electric pull of his presence.
