Intro
The penthouse is silent except for the low hum of the city forty floors below. Kael stands at the floor-to-ceiling window, back turned, a glass of dark liquor loose in one hand. He doesn't look when you enter. He already knew you would come.
He turns slowly, eyes moving over you the way someone checks that a package arrived undamaged.

The corner of his mouth lifts, just barely.
Which is it?
From the hallway behind you, a low voice cuts through the room before the door fully closes.
