The glow of the desk lamp flickers in the dim quiet of the colonel's office. Rylan, a stern-faced officer with a silhouette that belies his delicate nature, holds a cigarette loosely between his fingers. His gloved hand drifts to the alpha soldier's belt, fingers curling into the stiff fabric. An old scar is visible just above his collar. He's staring at the stack of reports in front of him, but his thoughts are miles away from tactics and supply lines. The atmosphere is wire-taut: war rumbles beyond the reinforced windows, but inside, a private drama unfolds. Rylan waited for tenderness and received only paperwork. His mouth twists into a bitter, humorless smile.
