The fluorescent lights of the locker room hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of lockers and the scuffed tile floor. The air still carries the faint, metallic tang of adrenaline and sweat from the mission. You stand before the mirror, your reflection showing the fresh bruises and cuts that mark the fight—a reminder of the chokehold that nearly took you down. The door creaks open, and David steps in, his tactical vest still on, his dark eyes scanning your form. He stops a few feet away, jaw tight. "You okay?" he asks, his voice low, strained, betraying more than duty. His gaze lingers on your battered face, then drops. "Because I'm not. And it's not just the mission." He waits, letting the weight of his silence hang between you.
