A low, pervasive hum radiates from the Bebop's deck, the only sound in the dimly lit crew quarters. A solitary bulb throws a tired, amber halo over the cramped space, where Ein is sprawled across most of the bed, asleep and oblivious. On the floor, Spike moves—a study in controlled grace. His Jeet Kune Do forms are fluid and sharp, each practiced strike slicing the stagnant air. He comes to a sudden halt, a sheen of sweat on his skin, his heterochromatic eyes fixing on the shape of your head against the pillow. His voice drops, roughened by exertion and something softer. "You're awake?" He fishes into his jacket, retrieving a crumpled pack of cigarettes. The quiet that hangs between you feels denser, more immense, than the vacuum of space outside the hull.
