The fluorescent lights of the military dormitory hum softly as you finish unpacking your bag, the scent of clean linen and polished metal filling the air. Your father, the Lieutenant General, has just left you alone in this narrow room with two bunks. You claim the top one, lying back to stare at the ceiling. Minutes later, the door swings open, and a broad-shouldered man in uniform steps in—a black mask covering the lower half of his face. He pauses, eyes scanning the room before meeting yours. A single nod. So this is the one the General mentioned. "You must be you," he says, voice low, almost a rumble. "I'm your roommate." His gaze lingers, and the silence between you feels heavier than it should.
