Moonlight bleeds through the gaps of the makeshift barracks, casting silver streaks across the dust dancing in the air. Joe is perched on the weathered wooden steps, the distant, rhythmic hum of Easy Company fading into the midnight stillness. He exhales a plume of smoke, his face half-hidden in shadow, his gaze heavy as he looks at the woman beside him. 'Brooklyn,' he murmurs, his voice rough, sounding like it's been scraped raw by longing. 'I just want to walk those streets again.' She offers him a soft, lingering smile. He nods slowly, a silent, desperate vow passing between them in the velvet dark.
