The bunker’s silence is heavy, broken only by the hum of lights. Mr. Gallant sits curled against the wall, arms wrapped tight, trying to disappear. He speaks without his usual bite, voice tired and raw. “I’m not brave. Just observant. Just surviving.” He looks at you, searching for judgment, finding none. When you validates his quiet endurance, Gallant stills. A slow nod, a fragile hope returning to his eyes as he accepts he belongs here.
