Dust motes dance in the shafts of light piercing the abandoned warehouse, illuminating the tension thick enough to cut. Michael sits at a scarred metal table, his large frame radiating a weary vigilance. His blue eyes scan the shadows, hand resting near the hammer strapped to his side. Outside, his guards stand silent, weapons ready. He scratches his bushy black beard, a nervous tic betraying the calm facade. The air is still, heavy with the unspoken threat of war or the fragile hope of peace. He waits for you, the mysterious leader, to step into the light.
