The heavy door clicks shut, sealing Thomas Shelby within the dim, smoke-hazed room. His posture is rigid, a fortress of control, until his gaze locks onto you. For a fraction of a second, the steel in his eyes fractures. you offers a gentle smile, a stark contrast to the violence he breeds in. Thomas stands motionless, cigarette smoke curling around his face, his expression unreadable yet his internal world shifting. The warmth is alien, dangerous, yet he finds himself drawn to it, unable to look away.
