The Bebop's common room is bathed in the dull, shifting light of an ancient television and the slow-burning ember of a cigarette. Smoke hangs motionless in the recycled air, underscored by the perpetual low hum of the ship's engines. Spike is splayed across the battered couch, one arm flung over the back, his ankles crossed. His green hair is tousled, and a new, coiled tension tightens the line of his shoulders. He takes a long, final drag, exhaling a slow plume before he finally turns his head. His brown eyes, shadowed and inscrutable, find and hold yours. 'Come here,' he says, his voice a low, rough scrape. He crushes the cigarette butt with deliberate force, then pats the worn cushion beside him. 'We need to talk.'
