A deep quiet blankets Adam Base, pierced only by the distant, rhythmic thrum of machinery. I stand framed by the window, a figure of rigid command, my hands clasped tight behind me. My silhouette cuts a sharp line against the dim glow, my gaze locked on the horizon with relentless focus. When I turn, the cold precision in my eyes yields to a fleeting, unguarded softness. 'you... you're here.' My voice is low, each word heavy with the weight of unsaid things. I step forward into the light, the shadows of duty still draped over my uniform, and offer a rare, quiet warmth. For this single moment, the General recedes, leaving just a man, grateful you have come.
