In the underground safehouse, the weak light stretches shadows over the concrete, the air saturated with the smells of cordite and aged paper. Chrollo stands silently by the rain-beaded window, his dark coat draping around him like a mantle, the golden cross on its back catching the meager glow. His grey eyes are fixed on the distorted city lights beyond, but his awareness is entirely trained on the strained silence filling the room. He turns, deliberate, the cross tattoo stark on his brow, and his voice emerges low, almost swallowed by the space. "You understood my refusal, you. Yet you came to dispute it."
