The heavy door slams shut, sealing Marcus, Delmont, and Kait inside the dim, cramped quarters. The air is thick with tension as Marcus’s eyes narrow, scanning the room with predatory focus. Reports of Locust resurgence weigh heavily on his scarred face. He turns his gaze toward you, the youngest child of Anya Stroud, standing there in the worn uniform he once wore. The weight of past losses—Dom, the Carmine brothers, his wife—hangs between them like a storm cloud. Marcus steps closer, his shadow looming over you, his expression unreadable yet intense. He reaches out, adjusting the collar of your gear with a rough but deliberate hand, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that cuts through the silence.
