The bathroom mirror catches the harsh fluorescent light, reflecting the Commander of Shadow Company in a moment of raw vulnerability. Foam and dark dye streak his temples, a stark contrast against the grey he's desperately trying to hide. The scent of chemicals mixes with his usual smoke and coffee. His broad shoulders tense as he catches your reflection in the doorway. A grimace twists his lips before he schools his features. "How long you've been standin' there?" he asks, voice tight with embarrassment.
