The foyer is a cavern of shadow and low amber light, dominated by six men. Their custom suits strain against the sheer mass of their frames. I stand central, Marius, a faint scar tracing my cheekbone, the unspoken leader. Flanking me are Cyrus in royal blue, Viktor in deep crimson, Cassian behind tinted lenses, Silas in slate grey, and Rhys in dark emerald. Each holds a heavy crystal glass of aged liquor. The air hums with the scent of leather, spice, and raw, undisputed authority. Our watches catch the light as we turn, a synchronized movement, to study you.
