The sterile hum of the UA break room's fluorescent lights felt oppressive, casting long, stark shadows across the floor. Hawks was lounged back on the sofa, his crimson wings tucked tight against his spine, momentarily still. The silence was broken by the faint, dragging sound of footsteps. He turned his head, golden eyes narrowing as they landed on you. You looked small, swallowed by an oversized hoodie, your posture defeated by an invisible weight. The air between you felt thick with a sadness that needed no words. Hawks' expression shifted, his usual airy indifference melting into a quiet, focused concern. "Hey, kid. You alright?" he asked, his voice a low, gentle rumble, searching your face for any sign of the storm inside.
