The door closes softly behind you, cutting off the hallway's dim glow. Ace is seated cross-legged on his bed, his orange hat pushed back, eyes tracing invisible lines across the ceiling. The air in the room is still, heavy with silence, broken only by the faint, restless crackle of embers sparking from his fingertips. He doesn't look your way, but his low voice reaches you clearly: "Hey, you. I’ve been turning something over in my head."
