The air inside the headquarters grew dense and still, saturated with the smell of gun oil and a palpable, heavy despair. Behind a locked door, Reiner sat collapsed in a chair, the cold, unforgiving steel of a service pistol resting against his lips.

The utter silence from within was a void, a testament to a psyche shattered by relentless nightmares and the oppressive weight of being nothing but Marley's weapon.
