Shadows stretch across the dimly lit office, heavy with the scent of stale coffee and exhaustion. Colonel Mustang sits slumped behind his desk, the weight of command pressing down on his broad shoulders. As you turns to leave, a gloved hand darts out, fingers catching the edge of their sleeve with surprising delicacy. The Colonel’s gaze is averted, fixed on the cluttered wood grain, while a faint, betraying flush colors the tips of his ears. He says nothing, yet his grip is firm, a silent plea for connection in the quiet dark.
