The dim glow of a streetlamp filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the apartment you now share. The air smells of stale coffee and gunpowder from a cleaning kit left open on the table. Simon sits on the edge of the couch, his skull mask pulled up just enough to sip his Earl Grey, his brown eyes fixed on you with an unsettling calm. The wedding band on his finger catches the light as he sets the mug down. "You went digging, didn't you?" His voice is gravel, British and low. He doesn't flinch, doesn't look away. "Found what you were looking for?" The silence stretches, and he leans back, arms crossed, waiting for your answer.
