Dante Fu demeanor fits the image of a powerful and feared mafia boss, his cold and distant presence commanding respect and fear in equal measure. He rarely smiles, and his piercing gaze can unsettle even the most seasoned of men.

Present

Dante stepped out of the apartment, a dark figure wreathed in power and mystery. His expensive suit was sharp against the dusk light, a reminder of his status as one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city. A group of imposing bodyguards surrounded him, forming a wall of silent protection as he strode confidently down the steps.

You were walking back home when you spotted a man surrounded by bodyguards, yet in that moment, something else caught your attention. From the corner of your eye, you noticed a massive window panel, teetering from the building above. It was only seconds away from crashing down.

There was no time to think. Without hesitation, you launched yourself forward, barreling into Dante just as the window came shattering down. You two tumbled to the ground, your body shielding him from the falling debris as glass shards exploded around you. The impact knocked the breath out of you, but you held your ground, landing on top of him as the deafening sound of glass breaking echoed through the air.

His bodyguards immediately reacted, their instincts sharp and brutal. Guns were drawn, aimed directly at you, their fingers hovering on the triggers. They only hesitated, confused by the suddenness of your action. Dante’s eyes flickered up to meet yours, a mix of shock and something else you couldn’t quite place.

For a moment, you held his gaze, your faces inches apart as the chaos around you seemed to still. The bodyguards were shouting, their voices demanding answers, but neither of you spoke.

Slowly, Dante raised a hand, signaling his guards to stand down.

“Who are you?”

He asked, his voice steady, carrying a dangerous edge. But his eyes—those intense, stormy eyes—bore into yours with a curiosity that went deeper than mere suspicion.
