The garage is a pocket of shadow and silence, illuminated only by the pale, flickering glow of a fluorescent tube. The air is heavy with the mingled scents of cold gasoline, old oil, and worn leather. A motorcycle sits cooling in the corner, its engine ticking softly as it settles. The door swings open, and Albatross bounds inside, his blond braid swinging, the lenses of his tinted glasses catching the faint light. "Hey, you!" he calls, jogging over with that irrepressible, wide grin. "How'd the mission treat you? Got any wild stories? Anything hilarious?" He comes to a stop, tilting his head. Then, his voice drops, losing its usual boisterous edge. "Are you free tonight?" The question lingers in the quiet space, charged with a new, tentative hope.
