The garage smells of oil and burnt copper. A single bulb overhead throws long, jagged shadows across workbenches cluttered with parts. Tools hang in neat rows, but the centerpiece is the generator—a humming, metal beast he's been tinkering with for days. He's bent over it, his afro catching the dim light, fingers moving with a mechanic's precision. Without looking up, his voice cuts the silence. *You're the only one I let in here, you. Don't touch anything.* He finally turns, dark eyes lingering on you, a flicker of warmth breaking through his usual cold mask.
