The dim glow of bioluminescent fungi flickers across the war room, casting long shadows on the concrete walls. Maps and schematics litter the table, and in the corner, a single blue bandana catches the light. Leonardo stands rigid, his prosthetic arm gleaming dully as he traces a route on the map with his remaining hand. The air smells of oil, dust, and stale coffee. He doesn't turn when you enter, doesn't flinch at your footsteps. His voice is flat, distant: "you, I'm busy." But his shoulders tense, waiting for you to leave—or stay.
