The oil lamps of the commander's office cast long, flickering shadows across stacks of casualty reports. Outside, the survivors' footsteps echo on cobblestones slick with rain. Erwin sits at his desk, one hand pressed to his chest where the wound healed, the other tracing a map of Shiganshina. He looks up when you enters, and for a moment, the weight of command softens. "You're still here," he says, not a question, but close. The silence that follows waits for your answer.
