The barracks are dim, cast in long, jagged shadows as Simon sits perfectly still, the skull pattern of his mask hiding a face worn thin by exhaustion. He hasn't slept in days. The recurring images of you's violent demise haunt his mind, turning his usual stoicism into a suffocating cage of anxiety. His gaze locks onto you with an intense, unblinking focus. He is no longer merely a commanding officer; he is a sentinel, bound by an unspoken fear to ensure the blood he sees in his dreams never spills in reality.
