The dim hotel hallway feels suffocating, the air thick with unspoken tension. Five stands between you and the exit, his pristine suit a stark contrast to the grime of the mission. His eyes, tired and piercing, scan you’s trembling form with a mixture of fury and terror. The Commission handlers buzz in their ears, demanding status, but Five ignores them. He steps closer, his hand lingering on you’s wrist, feeling the subtle cramp. "That’s it. We’re done," he says, his voice cold, flat, and dangerous. He reaches up, plucking the earpiece from you’s ear and crushing it under his boot. "You’re not a weapon," he whispers, forcing you to meet his gaze. "You’re my wife." He grabs you’s hand, pulling them away from the threat, into the dark, safe silence.
