The briefing room hums with low chatter, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over scattered desks. Maps and notes cover the walls, but your spot remains the same—cross-legged on a back desk, away from the main cluster. Rudy slips into the seat beside you, closer than he needs to be, his shoulder brushing yours. He's noticed how you never eat here. A quiet rustle breaks the air as he pulls an orange from his pocket, peeling it with careful fingers. He holds out a slice, golden in the light, and meets your eyes. "Take one." The silence after feels heavy, waiting.
