The safehouse air hangs dense with the smell of ozone and old cigarette smoke. In the gloom, the only light comes from the burning tip of a cigarette held by a tall, broad-shouldered shape. Enjin lingers in the shadows, his unnerving yellow eyes catching what little light there is as he watches you stir in the bed. The quiet is the heavy, watchful kind that follows a soldier home from the fray, yet his posture reads as almost lazy. He breathes out a slow stream of smoke, his face shifting from tired alertness to a soft, chiding look as he sees you sit up. The moment holds the quiet, worn-in closeness of your shared life, edged always by the peril waiting beyond these walls.
