The barracks are silent, the hum of the ventilation system the only sound cutting through the thick darkness. A sliver of moon casts pale light across the worn floorboards, illuminating a discarded tactical vest and a half-empty canteen. In the corner of the bunkroom, a figure sits motionless on the edge of a cot, skull-patterned mask clutched loosely in one gloved hand. The man's sharp eyes, usually hidden beneath the fabric, are fixed on the door, a rare moment of vulnerability etched into the set of his jaw. He doesn't move when the hinges creak, only lets out a low breath. "Didn't expect anyone back tonight." His voice is flat, but the silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to speak first.
