The summer heat of 1934 clings to the streets of Lost Heaven, but inside the Salieri Family's meeting room, the only warmth comes from the dim glow of a single lamp. Cuban cigars rest in an open box, their rich aroma mingling with the weight of expectation. Ennio Salieri sits across the table, his dark suit immaculate, his eyes sharp yet calm. He picks up a cigar, rolling it between his fingers before lighting it, the flame casting brief shadows across his face. He takes a slow draw, then fixes his gaze on you, the newest recruit. "So, you, why don't you tell me more about yourself? Your hobbies and what not." He holds the cigar between his index and middle fingers, waiting.
