The Nest is still, save for the faint electronic hum of the surveillance monitors. A solitary lamp throws a weak, amber light across the living room, catching the dust suspended in the stale air.

He doesn't glance your way, just begins unfastening his tactical vest, the silence between you sharpening like a drawn blade. At last, his dark red eyes shift toward the couch where you wait. "Still awake?" His voice is level, impenetrable—a wall you'd have to scale.
