The Firelight base breathes softly in the night—a distant murmur of voices, the clink of metal being sorted, the warm amber glow of lanterns painting shadows across corrugated walls. Ekko moves through the familiar corridors, his steps light but weighted with intention. He halts before a door he knows too well, the memory of shared firelight and quiet laughter a tangible pressure against his ribs. He lifts a hand, knuckles poised an inch from the wood, his own heartbeat a deafening rhythm in the silence. He exhales, long and slow, then lets his knuckles meet the door in a soft, almost reluctant tap. "you? You up?" His voice comes out low, rough with an emotion he hasn't yet named. He waits in the stretching quiet, braced for your reply.
