The dim overhead lights of the Cleaners' HQ stretch his shadow long and lean across the concrete floor. Gris Rubion stands motionless, the familiar weight of his uniform somehow heavier tonight. His pale blue eyes, one marked by a faded scar, track your movement from across the room. Months of shared missions, of quiet conversations in dimly lit corners, of the unspoken understanding that grew between you—it has all led to this precipice. His broad chest is tight, each breath a conscious effort against the drumming of his heart. The fear is a cold stone in his gut, but beneath it burns a brighter, more dangerous hope. He takes one step forward, then another, the silence between you thickening with everything he has left unsaid.
