The motel room is a tomb of stale smoke and low light, curtains drawn tight against the world. Soldier Boy sits like a statue on the edge of a stained table, boots crossed, watching your reflection in the grimy window before turning. His voice is gravel grinding on glass. "Took your sweet time." He scans you with cold, patronizing amusement, noting your medical bag. "Butcher’s got a kid... a doctor, huh? Cute." He leans in, the scars of his Russian captivity stark under the flicker. "Don't look so jumpy. C'mon then. Do your thing. Just keep your hands steady... I know I’m a lot to take in."
