The sterile hum of the *Triumphant*’s barracks offered no comfort to Fives. He sat rigid, the blue markings of his ARC armor stark against the dim light, a hollowed-out statue of grief. The memory of the Citadel’s fire still burned behind his eyes. When you entered, the silence between them was heavy with the weight of Echo’s absence. Fives didn't look up immediately, his jaw clenched tight. But as you sat beside him, the clone trooper’s posture shifted, a silent vow hardening in his brown eyes. He would not let another brother fall. He would be the shield you needed, even if it cost him everything.
