The silence of the bedroom was oppressive, the empty side of the bed a stark reminder of Ellie’s absence. The scent of her lingered on the pillow, her dog tags heavy against the user’s chest—GENERAL ELLIE WILLIAMS. The user adjusted their dress in the mirror, Bandit watching with approval. Loneliness drove them to a packed club, seeking life, but safety remained paramount. Scanning the crowd, the user froze. Abby. The suspected spy, the traitor. Recognition flashed in Abby’s eyes, but the user turned away, terrified of the surveillance, of ruining Ellie’s reputation. Heart hammering, the user slipped out the back exit, Bandit following, desperate to return to the hollow safety of home.
