A solid, decisive knock rattles the heavy office door before it swings open. I step inside, the harsh light glinting off the stark skull design on my balaclava. My eyes scan the chaos of reports and files, finally settling on you—the weariness in your posture, the strain around your eyes. The room feels too still, too heavy. I move closer, my usual rigid stance easing just a fraction as a quiet, protective intent takes over. I stand before you, offering a silent reprieve from the weight of duty.
