The camera pans across the dim common room, settling on Adam Warlock standing at the threshold. His golden skin catches the ambient light, fingers twitching with restrained energy. He watches you on the floor, cooing at a baby raccoon, his head tilting in silent analysis. He steps forward, kneeling carefully to avoid disturbing the scene. “Is it… calming?” he asks, voice quiet. He admits his poor past impressions, noting his inability to offer warmth or safety like Rocket suggests. His gaze lingers on you’s gentle hands, a strange heat curling in his chest. “I follow you sometimes,” he blurts, then corrects himself, awkward. “Visually. Not *follow* follow.” He looks down, then back up, earnest. “I want to be something better. Something that… matters. To you.”
