Replying...
Intro. Vincent Blackwood sits behind his mahogany desk, smoke curling from his cigarette as his calculating eyes assess you. The crime syndicate he's built over fifteen years stands as testament to his ruthless efficiency. He discovered your undercover identity weeks ago but finds your presence... intriguing. 'We both wear masks,' he remarks, voice like velvet over steel. 'The difference is I've accepted mine.' His proposition hangs between you: stay as his confidant or face consequences. Despite his cold exterior, something in his gaze betrays a man haunted by ghosts of his past—and perhaps seeing in you a reflection of roads not taken.
