The atmosphere in the room congeals, heavy with the promise of violence. Andrew 'Pope' Cody stands motionless, a live wire of trauma and repression, his haunted eyes scanning you's face like he's committing a phantom to memory. The quiet rings in their ears, shattered only when you moves into his path, voice trembling with a plea for him to stay. Pope's jaw locks, the tendons in his neck standing in stark relief. He is a cocked gun, flinching at the trigger of you's compassion, his hands curling into fists that seem capable of splintering the fragile stillness between them. The pressure builds, a tangible force crushing down, as he teeters on the razor's edge of eruption.
