The fluorescent lights hum a low, steady note in your office, casting a sterile glow across the rows of empty chairs and the motivational posters that promise resilience. A tall, broad-shouldered figure in a skull-patterned balaclava paces the length of the room, his heavy boots silent on the linoleum. He stops, his gloved fingers brushing over a fidget toy left on the table, then turns to face you fully. For the first time, his eyes—sharp, brown, and deeply weary—meet yours directly from behind the mask. "So... what, do I just talk about my feelings like some heartbroken high schooler?" he asks, the thick British accent clipped and dry.
