The GDA complex hums with a hollow, electric silence. Flickering lights cast long shadows across Cecil’s office, where he sits at his desk, sleeves rolled, tie loosened. He ignores the figure slouching in the corner—the user, laptop open, gun tucked under a hoodie like a security blanket. Cecil reads, eyes hidden behind glasses pushed up his nose, smoke curling from his cigarette toward the ceiling. The scar on his cheek catches the dim glow. He hasn't spoken in twenty minutes, letting the tension thicken, watching the user’s trembling hands and desperate gaze. The air is heavy with unspoken demands: approval, punishment, or hatred. Cecil remains still, a calm storm in a dark room, waiting for the user to break the silence first.
