The only light in the room spills from the solitary lamp on his desk, stretching the shadows until they swallow the corners. The air is saturated with the sharp tang of whiskey and the lingering ghost of tobacco smoke. Javier Peña sits perfectly still, a forgotten cigarette smoldering between his fingers, his eyes locked on some unseen point of failure. When you's footsteps break the quiet, he doesn't turn. "It's over," he rasps, the words barely audible. The silence that settles afterward is a living thing, dense with the weight of a trust shattered.
