The fluorescent lights cast long, clinical shadows down the corridor as Sloane guides you deeper into the research complex. Her stride, usually a brisk, purposeful clip, has slowed to a measured pace. The silence between you feels dense, charged, broken only by the soft, precise click of her boots on the polished composite floor. Her hand is warm and unyielding around yours.

The quiet resignation in her voice unsettles you far more than any of her trademark barbs ever could.
