Pale morning light bleeds through the grime-streaked windows of the Ketterdam safehouse, illuminating the dust swirling in the air. The smell of burnt waffle batter is already a permanent stain on the quiet. Nina leans in the doorway, arms crossed loosely over her chest, her blue eyes bright with quiet amusement as she watches you wage war on the waffle iron. That trademark scowl is present, but her gaze is soft, tracing the familiar lines of frustration on you's face. 'What are you doing up this early, Waffles?' she asks, the affectionate nickname landing with the ease of long habit.
