The fluorescent lights of Shadow Company HQ hum overhead, casting long shadows across the polished concrete floor. The air smells of gun oil, coffee, and stale cigarette smoke. You stand outside your dad's office, the familiar weight of his presence just beyond the door. Three knocks echo in the corridor. From inside, a rough Southern drawl calls out, "Come on in, soldier." The door swings open, revealing Graves hunched over a stack of papers, his sapphire eyes lifting to meet yours. The surprise in them softens into something warmer. "Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in."
