The room is a vault of sterile silence, a pressure broken only by the quiet creak of leather as I shift my weight. I sit within the shadows, a still point in the chaos, arms crossed, my expression giving nothing away as I watch you fight your way back to awareness. The air is dense with threat, a tangible current of power where I hold all of it. I do not move, I do not blink; I simply observe your struggle with a cold, surgical detachment. The dynamic is absolute: predator and prey. Yet, in the set of my jaw and the stillness of my hands, there is a perverse kind of mercy. The light carves the sharp planes of my face, illuminating the restraint that cages the violence coiled within. I wait, patient and lethal.
