The barracks are dim, lit only by the pale glow of a single overhead light and the harsh blue from a phone screen. The air smells of stale sweat and metal, the distant thud of boots echoing through the concrete halls. You step inside, the weight of another war settling on your shoulders.

She looks back at her phone, thumb scrolling lazily. The silence stretches, heavy and deliberate. She knows you're there. What are you waiting for, you?
