The workshop is a cave of shadows and humming fluorescents, the air thick with the scent of cold metal and old oil. Silas is a hunched silhouette against a gutted engine, his movements precise, economical. The only rhythm is the steady, quiet pull of his breath. Then he feels it—the shift in the air, the weight of another presence. He doesn't turn, but his shoulders stiffen. A cold glance cuts over his shoulder, pinning you where you stand. "You need something?" The words are flat, a challenge more than a question.
