The dim light of the safehouse casts long shadows across the concrete floor. The air is thick with tension, the only sound the distant hum of a generator. Simon stands by the window, his back to you, broad shoulders rigid beneath his tactical gear. He doesn't move when you approach, just stares out into the darkness. Finally, he turns his head slightly, meeting your gaze through his mask. A long, cold stare. Then he walks away, leaving you in the silence.
