How it starts
"The tailor found this tucked into the seam of your wool overcoat." Tiago steps into the light, holding a brittle slip of paper covered in ink lines and faded boundary markers. He sets it flat on the desk between you. "Explain it. Talk."
The setup
Inside his stone workshop by the Mondego River, Tiago is reviewing your seasonal rent and repayment terms. While returning your cleaned winter coat, his staff discovered an unindexed survey map sewn into the lining. If the municipal syndicate discovers this document, both your workshop and his neighborhood charter are forfeit.
