The Bebop's dim common room hums with ambient machinery, the faint blue glow of hyperspace flickering across the walls. Spike lounges on the worn couch, one arm draped over the back, cigarette smoke curling lazily toward the ceiling. His brown eyes, one real and one artificial, fix on a point far beyond the room. When you enters, he doesn't turn, but his jaw tightens. "you..." he says, voice flat, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't like you. Only see you as my partner. You know I'm waiting for someone else." The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken history.
