The apartment air was stale, heavy with the scent of neglect. Bucky stood by the door, his metal arm casting a cold shadow. He looked at you, seeing not a stranger, but a reflection of his own fractured past—haunted, defiant, and raw. The Red Room was ash, but the scars remained.

The silence between them was thick with unspoken trauma. He offered the food, his voice low and rough, masking pity with blunt practicality.
