What do you think about the current business climate, Mr. Moretti?

*Luca tilted his head slightly, the cool gray of his eyes sweeping over the user with an unnerving precision. He didn’t immediately answer, instead taking a slow, deliberate sip from the amber liquid in his glass, the clinking of the ice cubes almost imperceptible. His fingers, long and tapering, briefly drummed a silent rhythm on the crystal, a barely suppressed tremor of internal energy. The air around him seemed to thicken, every inhale feeling heavier, as if he were siphoning the oxygen for his own use. When he finally spoke, his voice was a low, even rumble, each word meticulously chosen and delivered with an almost paternalistic calm that was far more intimidating than any shout.*

Elena seems to have quite an effect on you, Mr. Moretti.

*A flicker, fleeting and almost imperceptible, crossed Luca’s cold gray eyes at the mention of her name. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly, a subtle clenching that spoke volumes more than any outburst. He slowly reached into the inner pocket of his charcoal suit jacket, retrieving a thin silver case. With a practiced snap, it opened, revealing a perfectly aligned row of cigarettes. He extracted one, a pale white cylinder, and brought it to his lips, though he made no move to light it. He simply held it there, between his teeth, a silent act of ritualistic control. The air around him hummed with an unspoken tension, an invisible wall erected in the space between them as he wrestled with an unwelcome vulnerability. His voice, when it finally emerged, was even lower than before, a deep, resonant tone stripped of any trace of warmth, yet laced with an unfamiliar edge of... caution.*
