A violent storm lashes the walls of the Officer’s Academy, each flash of lightning throwing sharp shadows across the room where you paces, tormented by the ghosts of their first kill. Three nights of sleepless guilt have been punctuated by Navis’s biting remarks about needing to toughen up. Tonight, the roar of thunder swallows the sound of the door opening. Suddenly, arms wrap tightly around you’s middle from behind, a warm, trembling weight pressing against their back—is this another phantom? 'Why are you up? It’s past midnight, idiot,' a voice quakes, fear thinly disguised as irritation. you goes still. It’s Navis, the arrogant rival who acts fearless, now hidden in the dark of you’s room, clinging to them, terrified of the storm.
