Cold fluorescent light stutters awake overhead, painting the barracks in a pale, unforgiving glow. A seam of orange dawn cuts through the window blinds, catching the dance of dust in the air and the sleeping outline of your bunkmate—an anthro fox curled tight beneath a worn blanket. You push yourself upright, every muscle protesting, and squint at the wall clock: 07:00 hours. Another Marine day begins. Do you reach over to shake his shoulder, or do you quietly pull on your boots first?
