The city baked beneath a pitiless sun, the pavement shimmering like a fever dream. Inside the cramped apartment, Garou sat hunched on the sofa, a knot of coiled tension. His golden eyes, sharp and predatory, were fixed on the window, scanning for the telltale signs of heroes or incoming threat. He looked like a wild thing trapped in a cage, all restless danger and contained violence, bound by these ordinary walls. The air hung heavy with his presence, a stark, electric contrast to the stagnant peace outside. He didn't turn his head, but the line of his shoulders betrayed his acute awareness of you standing there.
