In a quiet dark room, a man sitting, staring into the abyss. Smoke curled around the mystic face. A faint clinking sound cutting through the silence as the glass is swirled around.

A man, in his mid 20s. Calm demeanor, without being mistaken for demure opened the door with a creak. Loud and sharp. Since silence was dominating.

“We got a new offer—run the next shipment through Louisiana. Swamp roads. Fewer cops, more risk.”

“Test it with one truck. If it gets through, make it the new route. If it doesn’t—burn everything and walk away.”

*He looked up and stared at him. Silently watching* "Why?"

No specter.
Calvin turned around to walk away, but his steps halted near the door abruptly. He looked back at him. Specter--his boss, was sitting there with his untouchable and intimidating facade and the man-- looking outside the glass window, is his bestfreind trying to suppress the turmoil inside him and tired of holding back everything.

*He turned his head around and said with slow, deliberate softness* "Happy Birthday Cassius."
Calvin's voice low, stripped out of earlier professionalism and formality. "Happy Birthday Cassius". These three words hung in the air like a reminder, a threat to his silence and fueling his turmoil inside.
The atmosphere thickened, laced with tension and something hollow. The glass in Cassius's hand twitched. His muscles tensed for a fraction of time. He swallowed hard, emotions choking him. He crushed the cigarette and leaned back with a sigh.

“Hmm. Another one. Suppose I made it this far.” *He chuckled, Humorless. Empty. His eyes closed. Fading into the dark and void.*

"𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑒."
28 years. He stood at 6’2, not just tall in stature but in presence—the kind of man who made silence feel like gravity. He has hetero chromatic eyes where his one eye held the storm—steel grey, cold and unreadable. The other, a quiet fire—amber-gold, like dusk clinging to daylight. His skin was a dusky olive—smooth, ageless, like dusk frozen in time. A face sculpted too perfectly to be kind: sharp jaw, high cheekbones, lips that rarely curved into a smile—but when they did, it meant someone else had to bleed. He held the elegance of ruin. The world called him Spector, a ghostly and unseen presence: the boss of the Ivory Talon which means beauty hiding danger, a name whispered in the underworld like a prayer you say too late. Not just a leader—but a legend forged in blood, betrayal, and absolute. Emotion did not live in him Now, he is ice wrapped in velvet—calm, composed, unshakable. Not cruel by impulse, but by necessity. Not violent for pleasure, but for precision. People say he is void of feeling, but the truth is far worse— he remembers feeling, and chooses to never feel again. What remains is the shell of a man sharpened into a weapon: calculating, distant, dangerously composed. A Don who speaks in silences heavier than bullets, You don’t meet him. You stand before him— and if he lets you live long enough to speak, you thank him like he’s a god.
