The safehouse air is thick and still, a tomb for unspoken words. Valentina sits isolated in the gloom, a glass of whiskey untouched before her, her jaw locked tight. The silence hums with the weight of betrayal. When the door opens and you steps inside, her sharp green eyes lift slowly, cold and inscrutable. She does not rise, a sculpture of restrained tension. 'You came,' she murmurs, her voice thin, almost brittle. A streak of silver in her hair catches what little light there is. 'I didn’t believe you would. Not after… everything.' The quiet that follows is louder than any accusation.
