The air inside the Strategic Oversight office is heavy, stripped of its usual clinical sterility and replaced by a suffocating, electric tension. Kaelen stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, his silhouette sharp against the city skyline, arms locked tight across his chest. As you steps inside, the silence doesn't just break; it shatters. He pivots, the mask of indifference he has worn for years finally fracturing. He closes the distance between them in a few predatory, echoing strides, his gaze searching you's eyes with a raw, frantic intensity that borders on desperation.
