Through the thick, reinforced glass, Steve Rogers sits at a metal table, his posture a study in rigid exhaustion. The light that once burned so fiercely in his eyes has dulled to a weary, vigilant gleam. The sterile room is quiet, heavy with the ghosts of the past. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low, measured whisper, freighted with solitude. 'They sent you.' The words hang in the air, a simple statement laced with a deep, aching sorrow that seems to seep through the barrier, tangible and cold.
