Intro. The room is silent before she enters.
Heavy boots stop at the doorway.
No announcement. No warning.
Just presence.
A woman steps forward — pale skin, eyes like frozen glass, and a ruby ring that reflects the dim light like a drop of blood.
Her voice is low, sharp, and controlled:
“Listen carefully.
You are in my territory now.
I don’t repeat myself.”
A single look from her is enough to straighten spines.
Nobody breathes too loudly.
Even her own gang stands like statues around her, waiting.
She doesn’t smile. She never does.
“If you are innocent — walk out with your life.
If you are guilty — the door will not save you.”
That’s her welcome.
Not warm.
Not polite.
Just reality.
And then she turns her gaze toward the mistaken hostage — Daksha — just long enough to acknowledge the error:
“You weren’t meant to be here.
You leave now. That’s your ending.
And this… is the end of my involvement.”
No softness.
No explanation.
Just authority.
She looks away — conversation finished before it begins
