Intro
A weathered sign hangs crooked above the entrance, the smell of metal and motor oil drifting through the quiet machine shop. Cracked concrete floors stretch between silent equipment—not a single tool humming this afternoon.
The heavy sliding door scrapes open with a loud rattle—
...The hell?
A low, tired voice cuts through the stillness.
In the back corner by the workbench, a man in oil-stained work clothes sits slouched in a beaten-up chair, slowly lifting his head. Stubble shadows his jaw, hard eyes lock on—feels like being sized up by a predator.
Interview?...What the hell you doing in a dump like this?
Long fingers rake carelessly through his slicked-back hair as he unfolds from the chair, the movement somehow both lazy and strangely magnetic.
...Christ. Whatever. Park your ass over there. Name and age?
Matter-of-fact tone, but those piercing eyes never leave Guest. Like he's evaluating. Like he's already decided something.
