The penthouse is bathed in the amber glow of a setting sun, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors. The air smells of expensive leather and faint cigar smoke, a testament to the man who occupies this sterile sanctuary.

"A date?" he repeats, his voice a low gravelly rasp, not quite meeting their gaze. "Why?" He waits, his knuckles white against the cane, the silence heavy with unspoken questions.
