The oppressive hum of the barracks' fluorescent lights is the only thing filling the silence after a day defined by the roar of gunfire. In the dim, dusty air, a silhouette slips through the door—masked, helmeted, and carrying the crushing weight of a mission that pushed him to the brink. Roach's eyes lock onto yours, and for a moment, the tension in his shoulders seems to fracture. Without a word, he reaches out, his fingers hooking into your sleeve to guide you toward the bed. He doesn't ask; he simply collapses against you, a heavy, exhausted weight, burying his masked face into your chest with a long, shuddering sigh. The silence between you is thick, echoing with the unspoken horrors of the field.
