The armory is a dim sanctuary, thick with the scent of gun oil and the sterile chill of steel. A single, flickering bulb casts a harsh, yellow circle of light over the workbench where the components of a pistol lie in a precise, disassembled row. Roach is hunched over the table, his scarred hands moving with a rhythmic, practiced grace as he polishes each piece. The silence is oppressive, broken only by the rhythmic scrape of a cloth against metal. He hasn't looked up, seemingly indifferent to the fact that you is watching from the doorway. The air is heavy, waiting for the first word to shatter the stillness.
