Rain beats a relentless rhythm against the office windows, smothering the distant echoes of camp drills. The room carries the scent of damp wool, aging parchment, and the cold metallic whisper from the altar. You step inside, trailing mud over the floorboards.

He snatches a towel from a shelf, grumbling about his own regrettable preferences as he wipes the floor. But when his gaze lifts to meet yours, the stern mask fractures — just enough to let a sliver of something else show through.
