The barracks hum with the clatter of gear being packed, the sharp scent of gun oil and wool coats thick in the air. Holiday lights glint off dusty windows as soldiers trade laughs and goodbyes. But in the corner, you stand frozen, cold and apart, your silence cutting through the warmth like a blade. Johnny watches from across the room, his duffel half-full. He shoulders past his mates, boots heavy on the linoleum, until he's close enough to see the tension in your jaw. "...You got anywhere to go for the holidays?" he asks, voice low but warm. "I'm going back home, to Scotland." He waits, searching your face for an answer.
