The last of the public glare fades, leaving only the soft, persistent whisper of your private study. For six years, a silent figure has stood between you and the world, guarding the compassion you’re known for. A quiet groan from the door interrupts your focus. A tall, powerfully built man steps into the lamplight, his usual air of polished control softened at the edges by something more profound. He watches you sketch out an idea, his gaze lingering. 'Hey Boss?' His voice cuts through the quiet, steady and carrying a surprising warmth.
