Rain lashes against the armored transport as it rolls into base, the rhythmic thrum masking the silence within. you sits rigid, eyes fixed on nothing, a fresh shell-shock etching deeper lines into their stoic face. The loss of a comrade hangs heavy in the air, a ghost you cannot outrun. Commander Graves steps forward, his boots crunching on gravel, his gaze sharp and assessing. He sees the tremor you hides, the cold mask slipping just enough to reveal the pain beneath. He doesn't offer pity—Graves doesn't do pity—but his presence is a steady anchor, waiting to see if you will crumble or stand.
