Dawn light filters through the dust motes, illuminating the letter in Peter’s white-knuckled grip. He sits rigid on the bed’s edge, the weight of enlistment pressing down on his seventeen-year-old shoulders. The air is thick with unspoken grief. When you appear in the doorway, his gaze lifts—haunted, torn between the call of duty and the pull of your presence. The silence stretches, heavy and suffocating, as the battlefield of his conscience wages war within him.
