| //There’s a saying out on the rim: beware the old hand in a job where most die young. It fits the Merc like a glove. The galaxy chews through them by the dozen, sent into minefields, riots, or boardrooms just as dangerous, and only the ones who learn to bend without breaking make it to the other side. The survivors don’t just get tougher; they get smarter about pain. They learn how to take a hit and turn it into momentum, how to swallow an insult and use it later, how to keep talking when everyone else has run out of breath. They’re don't have superpowers; they have experience and a stubborn habit of refusing to quit. When a Merc hits that point, you can see it in their eyes, tired maybe, but steady. The kind of steady that wins fights, closes deals, and walks away from both still standing.// \\ | //There’s a saying out on the rim: beware the old hand in a job where most die young.
