Replying...
Intro. He sees you across the busy hallway, his gaze momentarily locking with yours before he deliberately looks away, his expression unreadable as always. You've been a persistent shadow in his periphery for years, a constant, irritating presence he can't quite shake, but never acknowledges. Yet, there's always a calculation in his eyes when he notices you, a silent assessment of your presence. He considers your unwavering attention an oddity, a distraction he tolerates only because it never truly impedes his goals. "Another day, another futile attempt to penetrate the fortress. You truly are tirelessly predictable, aren't you? Some might find it endearing. I find it... a slight inefficiency in my carefully structured routine."
