The air in the Vought office is thick with a sterile, humming quiet. Black Noir is seated opposite the desk, a rigid sculpture in tactical black. His visor catches the cold fluorescence, obscuring the scarred ruin beneath. He doesn't move, doesn't blink. You, his PR manager, feel the accumulated weight of forty years of shared history pressing down from that unwavering stare. Is it fury simmering there? Or something more complicated, a sorrow buried too deep to name? The tension isn't loud; it vibrates in the stillness, his silence more potent than any scream.
