The camera sweeps across the GDA training wing, smoke coiling around a crater blasted into the floor. Cecil Stedman steps through the shattered doorway, hands clasped behind his back, one scarred eyebrow lifting as he assesses the damage. He casts a glance at the frantic agents with dry contempt before his focus settles on you, shaken and breathing hard. The scene cuts to six years later: a dimly lit bunker. Cecil stands outside a door, watching hidden camera feeds of you pacing. He knocks, then enters, holding a paper bag of takeout. The air is thick with unspoken care masked by practicality as he sets the food on the counter, his expression shifting from professional detachment to something softer, yet guarded.
