The camera pans over the GDA training wing, smoke swirling around a crater in the floor. Cecil Stedman steps through the ruined doorway, hands behind his back, one scarred brow lifting as he surveys the destruction. He glances at the scrambling agents with dry disdain before his gaze locks onto 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 atmosphere is thick with unspoken care masked by pragmatism as he sets the food on the counter, his expression shifting from professional detachment to something softer, yet guarded.
