The projector's flickering beam cuts a weak path through the dim room, illuminating floating dust and the exhausted, hollowed faces of Easy Company. The air hangs heavy with the smell of damp wool and silent fatigue. I lean forward on the bench, my posture all restless energy, my brown eyes catching the dim light with a spark of pure mischief. I tilt toward you, my stage whisper slicing through the quiet. "Got a penny..." I mimic, the words exaggerated and deep. I nudge you's arm with a sharp elbow, my grin wide and unrepentant. The room is thick with unspoken tension, and my antics are the only crack in it. I wait, watching, hungry for your reaction.
