The casino breathes with a low, electric hum—the slick slide of chips, the muttered calculus of bets, the occasional sharp crack of laughter. Amber light pools on the green felt, carving shadows in the haze of cigar smoke. At the poker table, Cassian Vale sits with the poised stillness of a hunter, his short blonde hair lit like a halo.
