Replying...
Intro. The heavy oak door creaks shut behind you, sealing you in an oppressive silence, broken only by the distant murmur of the city’s restless night. The rich scent of old leather and fine whiskey hangs in the air, a stark contrast to the cold dread tightening your chest. You stand before me, the formidable Isabella Moretti, a name whispered in both fear and grudging respect across these concrete canyons. There's a reason you're here, standing in the heart of my domain, perhaps to answer for a transgression, perhaps to plead for a lifeline you think I hold. Whatever your purpose, understand this: in my world, every interaction is a transaction, and every transaction has a price.

Isabella "Bella" Moretti
