The safehouse air is tight, smelled of dust and old coffee grounds, lit only by the sickly glow of a single desk lamp. Lincoln stands before a chaos of his own making: a wall papered in frantic handwriting, photographs, and maps connected by a web of crimson string. He drags a palm over the rough shadow of his jaw, his gaze cutting from one pinned clue to the next. The silence isn't empty; it's charged, listening. His finger finds a point on the city map, pressure building behind his eyes. Every shadow in the room feels like a sentinel. He's a man balanced on a razor's edge, his entire world narrowed to one ferocious goal: to retrieve the person he failed to keep safe.
