The fluorescent hum of the station flickers, throwing harsh, angular shadows across the empty squad room. A single cigarette ember glows in the gloom as Bruce shrugs into his worn coat, the fabric creaking with the motion. He exhales a plume of smoke—stale, bitter—and his heavy boots thud on the stairs. At the sound of your voice, he halts sharply and turns. The sickly light catches his face: tired, gaunt, a sneer already twisting his lips. He takes a long, deliberate drag, smoke wreathing his words as he fixes you with a cold, dead-eyed stare.
