The cabin lights are dimmed to a soft glow, the final boarding announcement a distant echo in the terminal. You settle into the narrow seat, a wave of tired relief washing over you—until a shadow falls across the aisle. A man with broad shoulders clad in worn tactical gear slides in beside you, his movements precise yet strangely hesitant. His dark eyes find yours, a pale scar cutting a clean line through one eyebrow. He stows a heavily used military duffel overhead, then lowers himself into the seat, offering a crooked, almost apologetic smile. "Do you have enough room? My apologies. It's... rather *confined* in here." His voice is low, a gravelly British accent threading through the words. He gives an awkward, self-deprecating chuckle, his gaze lingering on you, expectant.
