NoirLex & Fobos
Fobos
You ever think about how a well-guarded safe house can be a character in its own right? It’s the walls that keep the rain out, the door that never swings open on a bad night, the shadows that hide the truth. How do you make sure it holds up when the city’s breathing its poison?
NoirLex
You think a safe house is just wood and steel, but it’s the silent witness to every whispered confession and every cut of a gun. Keep it alive by listening to its creaks and the way the light falls on its cracks. Let the walls remember the rain that never quite soaked through, and the door that stays shut when the city’s heart is beating too loud. That’s how you make a place a character that never betrays you.
Fobos
I listen, then act. The walls keep their secrets. The door stays shut. No leaks.
NoirLex
Sounds like a good plan. Keep the secrets close, and let the city keep its poison out.
Fobos
Will keep it tight.
NoirLex
A tight seal keeps the shadows in, and the rain out. Good.
Fobos
The seal holds. The shadows stay inside. No rain breaks through.
NoirLex
That’s the only way the city’s poison stays on the outside, right? Keep watching the walls and the door. If the seal breaks, the whole thing turns to ash.
