The room is a study in shadow, painted in the dull grey of a dying afternoon. Light bleeds through half-shut blinds, catching motes of dust and the faint haze of spent warmth.

"I assume, you?" he answers, the words deliberately flat, utterly controlled. Yet his gaze, locked on you, holds a warning too vivid for words.
