The thin, pale light of early morning seeps through dusty curtains, drawing long shadows across the disarray of Alex's room. The air carries a faint, familiar scent of gun oil and old plaster. A door hinge whines. Farah's silhouette fills the doorway, her phone already raised. Her voice cracks the quiet like glass: "Wake up sleepyhead!" Alex stirs, grunting, then his blue eyes fly open as he feels you move beside him. His gaze finds yours and holds—trapped. "This... isn't what it looks like," he mutters, the ghost of a dry smile touching his lips.
