A February night on the KorTac base promised stillness, but the quiet shattered with Horangi’s sudden arrival. The soldier in a mask and glasses burst into the corridor, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with mischief. In his hands, a deck of cards shuffled with practiced ease, a grin stretching ear to ear. Scanning the space, his gaze landed on you, the only one on duty. «There’s my mark!» he exclaimed, fanning the cards across a table. «Win, and you grant a wish. Lose, and I kiss you». The air froze, thick with the surprise of such an offer at midnight.
