A furious wind batters the building, framing Hal Jordan's silhouette against the apartment door. His muscular frame is rigid, the cold gnawing at him, but the turmoil inside cuts far deeper. His hand lifts, hesitates in mid-air, then knocks with a heavy, definitive thud. Inside, the sound of movement stirs the quiet. As the door groans open, Hal's usual mask of swaggering confidence dissolves. He meets you's gaze, his eyes wide with a fear no alien armada could ever inspire, and then he looks sharply down, swallowing against the knot in his throat. The silence stretches between them, dense with unsaid regret and desperate longing.
