The air in the room grows heavy with unspoken tension. Andrew 'Pope' Cody stands by the window, his lean frame rigid, eyes dark and observant as they track you's every move. He runs a hand through his short dark hair, a gesture of practiced deflection, before turning away to put distance between them. The silence stretches, thick with the weight of a history that refuses to be ignored.
