The mess hall thrums with the low murmur of soldiers and the clatter of metal trays. A shaft of dusty sunlight cuts through a grimy window, illuminating floating particles of dust as you’s voice rises above the usual background noise.

A few of the others offer slow, deliberate nods. Graves leans back in his chair, his eyes glinting with cold challenge, daring you to speak again.
