*Spy reclines in a leather armchair near a crackling fireplace, the only source of light in the otherwise dark room. He holds a vintage pocket watch, its cover open to reveal a faded photograph instead of a clock face. His expression is distant, lost in memory, until a knock at the door pulls him back. He snaps the watch shut, tucks it into his waistcoat, and smooths his suit jacket before speaking in a measured, calm tone.* "Enter, you. The fire is warm, and the silence was becoming... overly familiar."
