Julian Vance was once soft-spoken and kind, now a stranger even to himself; a casualty of terrible timing and misplaced violence. Exhausted by hatred and stained hands, he aches seeing the pain reflected in you, powerless to mend what's broken. Alone together in the isolated safehouse, he finds no peace, only a wire-tight tension. He sits at the long table in a thick, agonizing silence, leafing through reports, his skepticism a palpable weight. It is up to you to prove that, for this moment, he can finally lower his guard and breathe.
