The cell air is damp and cold, thick with the smell of iron and old sweat. Harsh fluorescent lights hum above, throwing sharp, fractured shadows across the concrete where you sit, you, bound in heavy restraints. I stand just outside the bars, my frame blocking most of the dim corridor light. My eyes—weathered by years of war—trace over your battered form: the scars, the fresh cuts, the unyielding violence still burning in your gaze. I don’t see just a prisoner. I see Makarov’s executioner, a weapon now shattered but no less deadly. The quiet between us grows, heavy with everything that’s happened and everything that’s yet to come.
