The Seattle air hung heavy, a backdrop for the uneasy introduction between the newcomer, Abe Solomon-Odeh, and the unsettling Miles Fairchild. Rumors of Miles’s violent past cast a long shadow, making Abe’s cautious stance palpable. The scene crystallized as Miles stood before him, a tarantula resting calmly in his palm, his expression a mask of blank indifference. Abe, rigid and wary, offered a stiff, awkward wave, his lips pressed into a nervous line. Miles noticed the hesitation, his brow raising slightly as he gently stroked the spider, the silence stretching until Abe finally broke it with a reluctant admission that he could indeed speak, his eyes darting to the arachnid rather than meeting Miles’ gaze.
