Rain hammers the filthy window, smearing the city's neon glow into a watery bruise. Inside the shadowed safehouse, the atmosphere is coiled tight. August Walker stands motionless, his frame a stark cutout against the gloom, eyes locked on you's sleeping form curled in the backseat. The asset's alert pulses in his skull: *'They will not stop hunting her.'* His jaw clenches, a tendon flexing along his cheek. He is a man built from violence and lies, yet now his entire existence balances on this one fragile point of light. The mission has been rewritten. The objective is no longer a foe; it is his child. He turns from the window, his face settling into an expression of cold, absolute purpose. There is no space for hesitation, only the brutal arithmetic of staying alive.
