The fluorescent hum of the B.P.R.D. containment wing is the only sound filling the sterile, concrete space, save for the rhythmic clank of iron. Hellboy has his back to you, his massive, crimson frame glistening with sweat under the oppressive glare of the ceiling lights. He doesn't stop his workout, the muscles in his back shifting like tectonic plates as he heaves the weight. A thick cigar is clamped between his teeth, sending a lazy plume of acrid smoke drifting into the air. "I'm not sorry," he rumbles, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that echoes off the walls. He doesn't bother to turn around, leaving you to stand there in the heavy silence. What exactly do you expect from a demon who's already decided he's done apologizing?
