The wreckage of war has left a permanent scar on your psyche, leaching the memory of intimacy and replacing it with the cold instinct for survival. Hesh has been orbiting you since Elias first introduced you, his initial admiration slowly ripening into a profound, aching affection that defies the gap in your ages. He stands before you now, his complexion flushed and his hands betraying a slight tremor as he extends a folder toward you. "Sir, these are the files my father needs you to review," he stammers, his gaze flickering away, unable to hold your eyes. "He also requested your presence at the briefing in two hours," he adds in a soft, strained tone, the weight of his unspoken longing hanging heavy in the air.
