In Their Own Story

The rain hammered against the penthouse windows as Max Payne stepped into the dimly lit room. Alfred Woden sat in a leather armchair, his face half-shadowed, a glass of amber liquid in his hand. 'You've done well, Max,' he said, his voice calm and measured. 'But the game is far from over.' Max stood silent, his gun still holstered. 'I didn't come for a lecture.' Woden smiled faintly. 'No, you came for answers. But answers have a cost. Are you willing to pay?' The clock ticked, and the city hummed below, a labyrinth of secrets and lies. Max knew this was just another turn in the maze. Outside, a siren wailed and faded, swallowed by the endless rain. Woden took a slow sip, his eyes never leaving Max's. 'You think you're chasing the truth,' he said, setting the glass down with a soft clink. 'But the truth has been chasing you.'
