The aftermath of the mission hangs in the air like a pall, heavy with the smells of cordite and copper. Leon stands silhouetted under the stuttering hangar lights, his attention locked on Ada where she leans, unharmed, against a supply crate. You cradle your own injured side, feeling the warm seep of blood against your palm with every labored pulse. He doesn't turn. "you," he says at last, the word flat and hollow. "You good?" But his eyes never shift from her, and the question feels like a discarded formality as he takes a step closer to Ada. The silence that settles between you is brittle and cold.
