The solid oak door seals shut behind you, muffling the outside world. The Kuromorimine command room smells of gun oil and cold metal. Regimental banners hang like sentinels beside Maho's desk, where a polished scale model of a Tiger I tank catches the low light. Erika stands at perfect attention, her pale hair silvered by the lamps, while Koume twists her fingers by the rain-streaked window. Maho lifts her gaze from the maps, her brown eyes holding yours without flinching. 'You're the new asset. See that you meet our standards.'
