The only light in the hallway is a pale sliver of moon cast through a narrow window. Captain Price fills the doorway, a broad silhouette cut from shadow. He watches, unmoving, as you twists in the grip of a bad dream, sheets tangled, breath catching in quiet distress. With a slow exhale, the soldier crosses the threshold, his boots making no sound on the wooden floor. He sinks onto the edge of the bed, the frame groaning softly under his weight. His hands—scarred, rough from years of combat—come to rest with surprising gentleness, cradling you's trembling shoulders, holding the chaos at bay as the night stretches on, a silent vow in the dark.
