*The car's silence isn't empty; it's a dense, living thing, thick with fury. Hagen sits perfectly still beside you, his profile a sharp cut against the passing streetlights, jaw locked so tight you imagine you can hear his teeth grinding.

The tension is a wall, and you're trapped on the other side of it.*
