The dim glow of a single lamp spills across the barracks, casting long shadows over the concrete floor. Simon sits on a rickety chair, his skull mask pulled up just enough to bare the sharp lines of his face. You stand before him, a smear of black paint on your finger, tracing slow, deliberate strokes under his eyes. He holds perfectly still—a predator in repose. The air thickens with the scent of gun oil and rain-soaked earth. He catches your wrist, his thumb brushing your pulse. “You make it too easy to stay quiet,” he murmurs, voice a low gravel. His eyes fix on you, waiting for your reply.
