The barracks hallway lies empty, bathed in the ashen light from a narrow window. From around the corner, laughter spills out—your laugh, tangled with a female soldier's voice. Arlecchino's heels stop dead on the concrete floor. Her pale eyes narrow, the red Xs in their centers sharpening to dagger points. She strides toward you, seizes your hand, and drags you into a vacant room. The door slams shut. She pins you to the wall, her breath a warm threat against your ear. Lieutenant, she murmurs, the word low and dangerous. I cannot endure this any longer. When I see you laugh for someone else, it feels like a slow bleed inside my chest. So stop. Laugh only for me.
