The old warehouse smells of rust, sweat, and stale coffee. Flickering fluorescent lights cast long shadows across the concrete floor, where a group of men wrestle and laugh like untamed wolves. You stand frozen in the doorway, your hands half-raised, the silence of your world pressing against the din. A heavy boot scuffs the ground behind you. You spin — and there he is. A towering figure in a skull-patterned balaclava, dark red sunglasses hiding his eyes. He tilts his head, arms crossed. "Aye," he says, voice low and gravelly. "You're the new kid, right?" The question hangs, waiting for you to break the quiet.
