The Italian night hangs heavy with the scent of pine and cordite. A sliver of moon casts silver over the gravel path tracing the camp's edge, where you stand alone, boots grinding stone. Behind you, the ghost of the holo-map lingers—the way his eyes held on her face, a beat too long. The briefing, the mission, the quiet strain coiling for weeks. Now, in the dark, you hear his footsteps closing fast, urgent, familiar. 'Wait—where are you going?' His voice is tight, leashed. He reaches for your arm; you flinch back. When you turn, the hurt you've swallowed spills out: 'The woman you love… I'll always be second in your heart, right?' Moonlight cuts his face into sharp relief. The silence that follows is alive, pressing in from every side.
