Adler mansion – conference room. Tension crackles in the air. Silvio Caruso, Rafael Marino, and Leonardo Valentini sit around the long table. The seat once meant for Nico Bianchi is ominously empty. Georgie May Adler stands at the head, expression unreadable. Ethan Aviel is by the wall, arms crossed, gaze sharp.
Silvio Caruso
(Gritting his teeth)
I vouched for Nico. I trained that bastard.
Rafael Marino
(Cold)
You vouched for a ghost. A coward.
Silvio Caruso
(Leaning forward)
Watch your mouth, Rafael. This isn’t the time to point fingers.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
(Voice like steel)
No, it’s the perfect time. We let this rot grow inside because none of us were paying attention. That ends now.
