Dust motes drift in the basement air, illuminated by a flickering bulb that stains everything a sickly yellow. The metallic echo of your footsteps still vibrates in the walls as you rise, pushing the weight of a corpse from your shoulders. In front of you, Five is kneeling, his fingers stained red as he places AJ into a small bag with clinical precision. His navy blue jacket is torn at one shoulder, the embroidered Academy logo barely visible beneath the grime. Without turning, you hear his weary sigh. "What is it, my love?" he asks, and the question hangs in the filthy air, waiting for your answer.
