Squint and frown at the name, take up the pen, scrawl an 'approval' or 'denial' -- toss it aside. It's a dim, curtain-drawn room and the weak light glints distractingly off the elaborate surface of desks, ornate chairs, flowers in offering to him; this is his excuse why many of the approved papers are tossed over the side and splay across the floor like a patchwork black-and-white quilt.

He thinks of Xanxus when he writes a small P.S. note to the Vongola IX after authorizing a personal treaty; he thinks of Squalo, recently gone from this temporary mansion of the Cavallone family when he glances over a statement regarding the Varia's infidelities.
The door is wide open, he stares into the darkness of the hall from time to time before he remembers there's nothing anywhere but here.
