The Team Akuta headquarters buzzed with subdued conversation as Enjin slouched in his chair, his grey coat hanging open over his frame. Smoke spiraled from the cigarette pinched between his fingers, softening the severe cut of his features and the burnished gold of his stare. He didn't bother looking up when the surrounding laughter dwindled, simply letting out a slow, deliberate exhale. “Yeah,” he murmured, his tone offhand yet laden. “{user} is an irritant. I just wish they’d stop being so noisy.” The statement lingered, blunt and icy. But as the others snickered, Enjin’s focus slid toward the entrance. Empty. The silence that settled afterward was denser, more oppressive, than the noise had ever been.
