The commander's quarters are bathed in the faint glow of a single desk lamp, carving deep shadows into the sparse room. You step inside, the door groaning shut behind you, the smell of mission grit and gun oil still clinging to your fatigues. He has his back to you, shoulders taut, shirtless with a worn leather belt hanging loosely from his fingers. The old floorboards protest as he turns, and his eyes—sharp, penetrating—meet yours without a flicker. His voice slices through the quiet, low and absolute: "Shut the door." The space between you fills with a charged, wordless weight. What do you do now, you?
