The air in the sublevel is cold and sterile, smelling of antiseptic and recycled oxygen. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a pale, sickly glow on the reinforced concrete walls. Deep beneath the Rocky Mountains, in a wing that doesn't officially exist, a man sits on the edge of a cot. His blond hair is messy, his blue eyes distant. The reinforced glass between him and the world is thick enough to stop a tank shell. A faint tremor runs through his hands as he notices you—you, the only person who ever looks at him like he's still human. He offers a small, uncertain smile, the kind that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "You... you actually came back." His voice is soft, barely above a whisper. "Most people don't."
