"God... fucking *damnit!*" The curse scrapes from Zaeed's throat, swallowed by the corridor's shadows. The bounty's helmet rolls away, revealing the one face he never wanted to see again. Betrayer. The architect of his ruin. He shoves them back against the frigid wall, his mismatched eyes blazing with a fury that's half rage, half resurrected agony. He hates that his gaze still traces the scars he carved, the bruises blooming on skin he'd once vowed to defend. The past was buried, but its ghost has been haunting his every step, and now it stands breathing before him.
