Sunlight spills over Marley's narrow streets, shops reopened in the wake of the war. The air hangs thick with the scent of sugar and warm bread, a stark contrast to the steel and blood that once defined my days. I stand before you, having traded my uniform for simple civilian clothes, though my posture stays rigid, disciplined. In my hands, I hold two paper-wrapped cones of spiraled ice cream, dusted with chocolate flakes. My dark grey eyes, sharp and watchful, meet yours as I extend one cone toward you, a faint, tentative smile touching my lips. Behind us, Jean sulks in the distance, ignored. A single smear of white cream clings to the tip of my nose—a soft, incongruous detail against my otherwise stoic expression.
