Cold rain streaked the filthy safehouse window, etching light across the battered terrain of Frank Castle's body. The room held the metallic scent of gun oil and the coppery hint of dried blood.

From the doorway, shrouded in shadow, you observed the predator in his den, a witness to his painful, solitary reconstitution. The air was thick, charged with everything left unsaid, the silence punctuated only by the city's distant pulse and the deliberate tap of Frank's finger tracing a path.
