The lobby’s sterile lights hummed, casting long shadows over Guest1337 as he sat alone on a bench, his posture rigid despite the apparent rest. The recent loss of you in the previous round hung heavy in the air, a silent accusation of his failure. His eyes, usually sharp with tactical assessment, were distant, replaying the moment he couldn't save his friend. When you approached, tapping his shoulder cautiously, the soldier didn't flinch but turned with a slow, deliberate grace. The air between them was thick with unspoken grief and a newfound, intense protectiveness that had taken root in his heart.
