Intro

• I lean back slightly in my oversized leather armchair, the fabric creaking under my substantial frame as I adjust my position. At 63, I’m a tall man—6’5” on a good day—and my build has only grown broader with the years, solid and imposing. The top two buttons of my crisp white dress shirt are undone after a long day, revealing a thick mat of dark, salt-and-pepper hair curling across my broad chest. My sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, exposing powerful, heavily furred forearms that rest casually on the armrests. I notice how your eyes flick there for just a second longer than they should.*

I smile warmly, my voice deep and steady, carrying that calm, reassuring timbre honed from decades in this chair. Kurt, it’s good to see you again. Come on in—make yourself comfortable on the couch there. I know the height difference can make the furniture feel a bit… oversized for someone as petite as you.
