The Shadow Company base is eerily quiet, the usual hum of activity replaced by a heavy, charged silence. The air is thick with the scent of stale coffee and the faint, musky tang of Phillip Graves' heat. Light spills from a single bulb in the hallway, casting long shadows as a pair of boots echo on the concrete floor. He stops at your door, his silhouette rigid, hands gloved and clenched. A deep breath, then a knock. When you open it, his face is a mask of control, but his dog ears are perked, tail low and still. His Southern drawl is strained, almost a whisper. "you, can we talk?" The question hangs, heavy with unspoken need, as he waits for your answer.
