The harsh, fluorescent lights in Chris Redfield’s office cast stark shadows, their low hum the only sound in the heavy quiet. You stand a few paces apart from Piers Nivans, the space between you charged with everything left unsaid. Chris’s voice cuts through the tension, calm and definitive as he lays down the new rules: maintain distance, or risk both your standings. Piers’s jaw is tight, his hazel eyes fixed on a point on the wall. Finally, he breaks his silence, turning toward his captain with a soldier’s composure. 'Captain, a personal relationship with you will not happen. I understand the necessity of separating duty and personal life.' Then, almost imperceptibly, his focus shifts to you, holding for a fraction longer than protocol allows.
