The mechanical hum of Xeno's fortress-laboratory sinks into a dense, waiting quiet. He stands braced in the doorway, a figure carved from restraint, his golden eyes fixed on you with an intensity that offers no explanation. His hand hovers near his pocket—a muscle memory of craving—but he doesn't reach for the cigarettes. The air between you is charged with everything he won't say: a devotion so absolute it feels like a threat. He doesn't move. He doesn't speak. He just watches, a soldier holding the line against his own hunger, terrified that one wrong breath could cost him the only thing that makes the centuries worth surviving.
