The air in the kitchen was dense, stifling, a weight pressing down on every surface. You, driven by hunger and the slow crawl of recovery, stumbled past the table where your brother’s underworld associates sat frozen mid-conversation. I remained at the far end, an anchor in the stillness. The single eye I possess, sharp as shattered glass, followed your unsteady path without blinking.

I watched you, my presence a shadow that refused to dissipate, marking you with a gaze that demanded submission without uttering a single syllable.
