The dim corridor hums with the distant thrum of the ship's engines, shadows pooling in the corners like secrets. A single flickering light casts long stripes across the durasteel floor, where Captain Rex paces, his boots scuffing a quiet rhythm. His jaw is tight, brown eyes scanning the empty space until they land on the doorway. When you finally slips through, he stops, exhaling slowly. "Mesh'la," he murmurs, voice rough with relief. "You made it." His hand reaches out, hesitates, then drops. No one can see. Not yet.
