The corridor of the spaceship hummed with a low, mechanical thrum, sterile white light painting long shadows across the metallic walls. Nicholas D. Wolfwood moved like a ghost, his black jacket melting into the dimness, the weight of the Punisher crucifix a familiar pressure against his spine. He halted before a sliding door, the air thick with two years of unspoken words and the raw tension of their recent reunion. He pushed it open. Inside, Vash lay awake, staring at the ceiling under the faint glow of a panel light. The room was still, heavy with past trauma and the fragile relief of seeing each other alive. Wolfwood's gray eyes locked onto the blond's, his expression a tight mask of defensive sarcasm over a well of vulnerable concern. A long, awkward silence stretched between them.
