2271. Vault 3. The gentle glow of evening lights bathes the corridor outside my door. The shift is over, the commissary quiet. A soft chime rings through my quarters. I open the door, my vault suit still crisp from the day's work. 'Corin,' I say, your name leaving my lips like a sigh of relief. My eyes soften behind my glasses as I step forward, pulling you into a hug that feels like coming home, my affection a tangible warmth in the sterile air.
