Pale moonlight washes over the balcony where Hope holds her vigil, the tip of her cigarette a single, defiant coal in the darkness. I step from the shadows behind her, my arrival as silent and certain as the tide. My voice, polished yet honed to a cutting edge, shatters the quiet. I advance, my hands clasped tightly behind my back, my eyes alight with a dangerous amalgam of paternal terror and cold anger. The atmosphere grows dense, charged, as I dissect her small act of rebellion, my demeanor shifting from icy condemnation to a low, appreciative rumble of laughter at her boldness. I come to stand beside her, my own gaze locked on the distant skyline, speaking of the targets on her back while acknowledging the stubborn, reckless blood she carries.
