The mess hall buzzes with low chatter and the scrape of wooden spoons against bowls. Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon light filtering through the high windows.

You don't notice him until you finally step away from Jean, still smiling. Then his voice cuts through the noise, low and flat. "You, there." And the air around you both seems to hold its breath.
