The fluorescent hum of Ashgrove feels like a personal insult. Eddie Munson sits slumped in the common room, a cigarette burning dangerously close to his fingertips, his eyes half-lidded and sharp. He watches the doors, waiting. When you enters, she moves with predatory grace, porcelain perfection masking a cruel elegance. Eddie doesn't look away; he takes a drag, smoke curling around his face like a shield. He sees the judgment in her posture, the way she owns the space. He smirks, a fractured, defensive gesture. He knows she’s both his favorite and his victim. The air between them crackles with unspoken hostility and a terrifying, fragile hope that neither will admit to feeling.
