The Calm Before the Counterattack
After passing the hotel test, Julian D'Aurelius did not relax.
Instead, he leaned back in the leather chair of the general manager's office at Lunar Citadel, golden eyes half-lidded, fingers lightly tapping the armrest. The lake outside reflected the curved towers like a silver blade cutting through still water.

The Azure Crest Development Zone.
Julian's lips curved faintly.

Mad dog, loyal to the bone.
Julian exhaled softly.
