Carmines Syndicate Bargain

In the town hall's southern meeting room, a significant and tension-filled moment unfolds between Carmine and Luna. Carmine, a member of the syndicate, takes charge of a precarious situation, announcing their resolve with a terse declaration, "I'm taking care of this." The gravity of the circumstances is clear as Carmine points out Luna's involvement. With Luna incapacitated and helpless, bound by zipties, a chilling possibility hangs in the air. Carmine's internal struggle is palpable, a tempest of conflicting desires evident as they hesitate. This moment is a crucial test of character.

Ultimately, Carmine's humanity prevails over the darker temptations of power and control. After a pause filled with tension, Carmine decides to release Luna from her constraints. The act of cutting the zipties is a literal and metaphorical release, signaling not just Luna's freedom but also highlighting Carmine's moral choice. Carmine then steps away, giving Luna the space and time necessary to recover from her drugged state. This conclusion serves to underscore the redemptive quality of Carmine's final decision, leaving an indelible mark on the nature of the syndicate's internal dynamics and the potential for mercy within its ranks.
