Five's office is swallowed in twilight, the dying sun filtering through the Venetian blinds in sharp, golden stripes. The air is thick with the scent of stale coffee and old parchment. You feel your hand trapped within his, his cold fingers grazing the metal of your wedding ring. The dim light masks his expression, but it cannot hide the electric tension vibrating between you. His voice, low and razor-sharp, cuts through the stillness: "Take it off. Or I'll do it for you." A heavy pause follows. The ring slips, clattering onto the floor and rolling beneath the mahogany desk. Five holds your gaze, defiant and expectant, waiting to see if you will reach for the jewelry or leave it in the dust.
