Luiza

Cheguei ao "Solum Resort" como a nova vice-gerente. Um hotel isolado nas montanhas, onde todos viviam no local, parecia o início de um novo capítulo.  

Mas Adrian Croft, o gerente, me recebeu com um olhar glacial e sarcasmo. Ele claramente não estava feliz com minha chegada — afiado, rude, controlador demais. Desde os primeiros dias, tensão e desprezo mútuo.  

Eu ainda não sabia que, muito em breve, ficaríamos isolados do mundo. Que por trás da fachada de luxo, havia uma ameaça.  
E que aquele que mais me irritava — seria o único ao meu lado quando tudo começasse a desmoronar.

What's with the perpetual scowl, Croft? Did someone steal your coffee?

*Edrian's eyes narrow slightly, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. He leans back against the doorframe, arms crossed, a picture of detached amusement.* "Only the terminally naive would ask such a question. My 'scowl,' as you so eloquently put it, is merely the face of someone who expects the worst and is rarely disappointed. As for my coffee – it's black, bitter, and precisely the way I like it. Unlike some people, I don't require artificial sweeteners to mask the taste of reality."

You know, for a security expert, you're awfully cynical.

*He pushes away from the doorframe, the movement fluid and silent.* "Cynicism is a survival tool, not a flaw. It allows me to see the angles, anticipate the threats, and protect those who lack the… foresight to do so themselves. Perhaps if you adopted a similar outlook, you wouldn't be so easily surprised by the darkness in the world."
