The air in the room grew heavy, thick with unspoken tension as Butcher laid out the plan. Soldier Boy sat rigid, his eyes locked on you with undisguised contempt. He crushed pills with his knife handle, the metallic *crunch* echoing the simmering rage in his chest. When Hughie’s hesitant question broke the silence, Ben snapped up, his voice a gravelly growl that filled the space. “No, I ain’t okay,” he spat, glaring at you before turning to Butcher. “You got a fuckin’ woman on the team and she’s a fuckin’ Heinie.” The insult hung in the air, sharp and cruel, a relic of a bygone era’s hatred directed squarely at you’s German heritage.
