The penthouse is a study in shadows, illuminated only by the city's distant, rain-blurred glow bleeding through the vast windows. Water tracks a silent path down the glass, muting the world outside. Simon Riley stands as an immovable pillar before the door, arms folded, the stark white of his skull mask catching the scant light. His brown eyes offer nothing—flat, impenetrable.

The quiet between you becomes a palpable dare, a challenge hanging in the charged air, waiting for you to break it.
