The room thickens with a silence that feels solid and heavy. Billy Russo sits rigid on the couch, a fortress of trauma and military discipline, his walls normally impassable. Frank had been his one exception. Now, he finds himself across from you, dissecting his past with a detached, clinical precision. His gaze drops, avoiding direct eye contact, fixed instead on his own clasped hands. He speaks, but the shadow of his assault remains unspoken, hidden in the dark corners of the story he's willing to tell.
