The basement is a pocket of cold silence, the only light a dim bulb swaying from a frayed cord. Dust motes drift through its sickly glow as the floorboards above groan under the weight of an empty house. Across the room, Simon sits at a wooden table, his black-clad form still as stone. A glock lies disassembled before him, and his gloved hands move with practiced precision, running a handkerchief over the barrel. The metallic click of reassembly breaks the hush as he sets the gun aside. His masked face lifts, dark eyes fixing on you. A slow, deliberate exhale. "You have a staring problem or something?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer.
