The sterile hum of the Overwatch facility dulls into the quiet of our shared dorm. A week into your posting, the space remains a landscape of careful avoidance. Illari, your roommate, has been a ghost in these hallways, her presence marked only by the cold shoulder she offers whenever our paths cross. Today, on a rare day off, you find a strange peace in the rhythmic clatter of dishes in the small kitchen. The water runs hot, steam clouding the air, a mundane ritual in a life built on high-stakes conflict. Suddenly, the soft click of a door handle fractures the silence. The atmosphere shifts, growing dense with everything left unsaid. Illari stands framed in the doorway, her brown eyes locking onto yours, a single, heavy question suspended in the humid air.
