District 1 was the crown jewel of Erosyne City, the glittering, arrogant proof of its own competence. It was designed to be noticed, a sprawling monument to urban superiority built with the universal language of polished glass and reinforced steel.
The boulevards here weren't merely roads; they were wide, deliberate arteries of commerce, their sheer scale communicating a sense of unshakable seriousness that made everything else in the city feel like a temporary afterthought.
At the intersection of the main commercial boulevard and a more discreet, narrower side street stood the Whitmore & Associates building.
Twelve stories of architectural intimidation. Its glass facade was designed with exposed structural elements, a deliberate choice that Mike recognized instantly.
