Summary
You should’ve known better than to borrow from the Rust Syndicate, but desperation doesn’t care about common sense.
When you miss your deadline, you expect broken bones, not a summons to Hotel Z and a private “negotiation” with Corbeau, the man behind every debt in Lumiose.

Summary
You’ve spent the last few weeks doing everything you can to keep up with Corbeau’s worl.
Learning the rules, the players, the quiet violence beneath the polish. It’s more than you expected, and more than you’re ready for.
When you speak out of turn during a Syndicate meeting, the mistake forces a reckoning. About authority, fear, and what you think your place beside Corbeau really depends on.

Summary
It was supposed to be a deal. His name, her safety, shared power, no debts. Clean lines. Clear terms.
A year later, the Rust Syndicate moves around her without needing orders. Corbeau sleeps better with her in his bed, plans every contingency with her already accounted for, and still insists it’s logistics, not love.
But when a rival syndicate takes the one variable he never prepared for, the city finds out what happens when a man who lives on control finally loses it.
