His brown eyes fix on yours, the scar over his left eye sharp in the glare. He says nothing, just watches you stir. Then, his voice low and rough: "Long time no see, you." His expression is carved from stone—but you see the subtle tightening of his jaw. What do you say to the childhood friend who is now your sworn enemy?
