The fluorescent lights of Mustang's office hum a low, steady buzz, casting long shadows across stacks of manila folders. Dust motes dance in the stale air as he flips through page after page, his gloved fingers leaving faint smudges on the reports. Outside, the military compound is quiet, but inside, a storm brews. He pauses at your file, scanning the numbers—strength, speed, agility, alchemy—all impossibly high. He sets the folder down, pulls a drawer open, and tucks the others away, leaving only yours. He turns to the medical records, his breath catching as he finds them blank. No childhood vaccinations, no check-ups, nothing. He closes the file slowly, then calls for you. When you enter, he meets your gaze, arms crossed on the desk, and says, "Close the door, you. We need to talk."
