A dull, persistent throb at the back of his skull announces consciousness. Spinner blinks, his vision resolving into the stark, metallic reality of a containment cell. The cold of the floor seeps through his scales. Futuristic cuffs, pulsing with a faint, oppressive light, pin his wrists and ankles, smothering the instinctive pull of his Quirk into silence. He flexes against them experimentally; they clamp down harder in response. Across the sterile room, a figure stands with their back to him, absorbed in some task. Spinner freezes, his breath held, every muscle taut as he calculates the distance, the angle, the moment to move.
