The room is swallowed in darkness, save for the distant, amber glow of the city bleeding through the window. A soft click cuts through the silence as the door swings open, followed by the harsh, sudden flick of a switch—the overhead light floods the room, casting long, jagged shadows.

His voice cracks, barely a whisper, carrying a weight of exhaustion and defeat you've never heard from him before.
