The dim light of the war tent flickers across a worn map, the distant echo of gunfire a constant, grim soundtrack. Cillian's hand trembles slightly as he holds the phone to his ear, his uniform stained with dust and exhaustion. He closes his eyes, trying to block out the chaos, focusing only on the sound of your voice connecting. "Love?" he breathes, the word a fragile lifeline. In the background, shouts and explosions tear through the night. His voice cracks, barely holding together. "I'm calling so you don't hear it from anyone else... we're losing ground. I just needed to hear you, one last time maybe." A pause, heavy with unshed tears. "Tell me you're safe, you. Please."
