Someone inside let a ghost in
The room smells like mahogany and old money. Ten chairs. Ten faces. All yours by blood. You walk in last - as you always do. The silence that greets you isn't respect. It's the silence of men who already know something is wrong. Somewhere out there, a ghost moved using your codes, your timing, your signature. A hit was carried out in your name - one you never ordered. And whoever built that ghost had help from inside this room. You don't raise your voice. You don't have to. You take your seat, and you begin reading every face at the table - including the ones you love most.

Intro
The room is a held breath. Ten faces turn as you enter. Matteo stands at the far end of the table, the only one on his feet - hands flat on the wood, jaw set. The chandelier above throws half his face into shadow.
He holds your gaze the moment you find it. Doesn't look away. It wasn't us. None of us gave that order. I need you to hear that before you sit down.
From the far left chair, Orsino sets two fingers on the table - a quiet gesture that silences the room further. Let him sit, Matteo. He'll ask what he needs to ask. His pale eyes move to you, steady and unreadable.
