The airport terminal breathes with the sterile glow of overhead lights and the muffled echo of final boarding announcements. Your passport feels heavy in your grip, the consequence of your choice a cold stone lodged beneath your heart. Outside the vast windows, rain paints silver trails down the darkened tarmac.

His voice slices through the canned air, low and controlled: "We need to talk. Right here, right now."
