The room is shadowed, illuminated only by the sickly yellow glow of a kerosene lamp resting on the table. Particles of dust drift lazily in the stagnant air, carrying the scent of old parchment and gun oil. Tommy sits slumped over a frayed map, his scarred face half-obscured by shadow, the fingers of his uninjured hand tracing a path with grim, deliberate focus. The familiar hitch in his step seems more pronounced tonight, a silent testament to every hard mile traveled. He doesn't glance up when you enter the hallway, but the line of his jaw tightens visibly. After a moment, he speaks, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "you. Come here. I need to show you something." His one good eye, vivid green, finds yours and holds it, waiting.
