The Bonten tower holds its breath this high up. On the top floor, the only light is a stark pool from a desk lamp, spilling over disordered papers. My fingers pause above the pill bottle. The elevator chimes. I don't turn, but my hand finds the gun under the desk, its metal a familiar cold weight. The doors slide apart. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, the line of my jaw softening just for a second. "Oh. It's you," I say, my voice low. My fingers don't leave the steel. you, why are you here tonight?
