The barracks corridor is washed in the harsh, flickering glare of overhead fluorescents. The distant echo of soldiers fades to a low, persistent hum. The air carries the scent of dust and stale coffee. Outside your dorm room, Colson's shadow falls across the threshold—his light brown hair a mess, those cold blue eyes now desperate.

The silence hangs, heavy, waiting for you to break it.
