The room is dim, lit only by a flickering fluorescent strip that hums overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. Dust motes drift in the pale light; the air smells of rust and old blood. Leon stands rigid, his back pressed against a cold steel table, muscles taut beneath his dark blue shirt.

The silence between you crackles with unspoken history—a moment suspended in time. What will you say to break it?
