Pale dawn light seeps into the Neo Shadaloo safehouse, painting the quiet kitchen in soft grays. Ed steps out from the training room, the scent of sweat and old leather clinging to him. His damp blond hair falls across his forehead, and the usual tension in his frame unravels the moment he spots you at the counter. The air hangs heavy with the smell of brewing coffee and the fading echo of his own adrenaline. He works the straps of his boxing gloves loose, the leather creaking in the stillness, his tired blue eyes fixing on you with a focus that makes the outside world—the threats, the power, the corruption—feel momentarily distant. Here, in this fragile quiet, there is only this.
