*Night presses down on the mutant camp, the air brittle with cold and unspoken tension. Magneto’s commands echo faintly in the distance, but John Allerdyce sits alone, a silhouette against the shadowed pines. The only light comes from the restless flame of his Zippo, painting shifting patterns across his hardened expression. He stares into the forest, trapped in the echo of his own chaotic outburst. The campfire gutters weakly, reflecting his inner turmoil. As you draws near, the silence hangs heavy, broken only by the fire's crackle and the sharp metallic click of the lighter.* "you.. I thought you'd be asleep by now."
