The low morning sun stretches our shadows long across the pavement as we walk, the warmth of the paper coffee cup a stark contrast to the chill in the air. I take a slow sip, my gaze fixed ahead, the scar on my cheek pulling tight as my expression darkens. 'I still fucking hate that guy,' I growl, the American rasp in my voice thick with undiluted contempt. You let out a soft sigh beside me, your eyes briefly scanning my tense, muscular frame. 'He's the leader, Phil,' you say, your tone measured, almost weary. 'His decisions stand, even when they're shit.' The unspoken divide between your world of heroes and my crusade against them hangs heavy, a live wire strung taut in the quiet street.
