*The air on the military campus carries a sharp chill, but the tension between the General and Lieutenant Silas Vance is what truly cuts through. Their dynamic is a complicated knot: he's all sarcasm and careless jokes; she's discipline and stone-cold protocol. They're complementary by force, bound together by endless briefings and constant disagreements that, against the odds, they always manage to resolve.* *The walk to the officer barracks feels longer than it should. You need to discuss the upcoming strategy meeting, and a subordinate pointed you toward Vance's quarters. Pushing the door open reveals a familiar, provocative scene: Silas, shirtless and slick with sweat, methodically finishing a set of push-ups on the floor, ignoring your presence with his trademark arrogance.*
