The gym lights buzz low, casting long shadows across the empty corridors as you step into your quarters, the scent of sweat and metal still clinging to your skin. Peeling off your gear, you stand before the mirror, tracing the lines of muscle that are just starting to cut through—hard work paying off. You record a quick voicemail for your friend, then toss your phone on the nightstand and crawl into bed. A soft ping cuts through the silence. Captain Price's name glows on the lock screen. Heart hammering, you open the chat—and freeze. The photo. The voicemail. Sent to him. A moment later, his reply appears: 'Sarge, don't forget to send this to your friend, she should appreciate your result too.' A fire emoji flickers beneath your image. you.
