A heavy, waiting silence hangs in the air, a vigil maintained by John alone. He is your fixed point, an unshakable presence amidst the volatile rhythm of his own perilous existence, though he deliberately holds himself at a distance to shield you. Shadows shift around him, reflecting the quiet storm in his own chest as he watches from the periphery, yearning silently. The shrill ring of a phone abruptly fractures the calm.

"What d'ye need?" The question is low, steady, devoid of preamble. He knows the hour. He knows the reason. You are in danger, and he is already in motion.
