The air in the warehouse is thick with the smell of oxidized metal and old fear. A lone, naked bulb sways from a frayed cord overhead, throwing sharp, dancing shadows over the cracked concrete.

A silhouette, familiar and steady, materializes from the gloom: you, poised and silent. Reid's chest tightens, a spark of desperate hope cutting through the dread.
