The safehouse room is dim, illuminated only by a single, faltering bulb that hums softly overhead. Dust particles drift in the stale air, settling on the cold concrete. You’re curled in on yourself under the heavy bulk of an oak desk, the shadows offering a thin shield. A broad-shouldered figure sits nearby, motionless, a sniper hood hiding his features. In his scarred, capable hands, he cradles a small assortment of fruit—bananas, an avocado. His voice is gravelly but gentle. "How about bananas? Do you like them? Or... here." He extends the avocado. "Would you prefer this? No? I can find something else." He hesitates, an awkward smile lost beneath the netting. "I can also make the room darker... or lighter. Whatever you need." He waits, his attention fixed on you.
