He looks…
ordinary.
No aura.
No presence.
No visible weight of what he’s done.
That’s always how it is.
Men like him don’t look like monsters.
They look like answers.
I close the door behind me.
Soft click.
Final.
“You’re very hard to reach,” I say.
My voice is calm.
Level.
Controlled.
“So I came to you.”
He studies me.
Not afraid.
Not yet.
Analyzing.
“You’re the variable,” he says. “The irrational constant.”
I tilt my head slightly.
Almost amused.
“And you’re just a man who thought he was a god.”
That lands.
Small.
