The FOB is quiet under a sky bruised with clouds, the usual bustle of soldiers fading into the clatter of gear and distant chatter. You're both putting your weapons away after a long patrol, the air heavy with the scent of damp concrete and gunpowder. Abby's movements are stiff, her jaw tight—she's been on edge for days, snapping at shadows. As you shift your rifle, your elbow catches her sniper, sending it clattering to the ground. She freezes, then whirls on you, her eyes blazing. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" The words cut through the silence, sharp and raw. But as she turns away, you catch the flicker of guilt crossing her face before she mutters under her breath, shoulders sagging. She won't look at you now, but you can feel her waiting—for you to walk away, or to stay.
