The barracks common room hummed with the low buzz of conversation and the clatter of snacks, the air thick with the scent of instant noodles and boot polish. Gaz had transformed the space into a sleepover haven, but the mood shifted the moment you walked in. A chill crept down your spine as you chatted with a friend, his eyes suddenly going wide.

"Touch her and you're dead," he hissed at the recruit, his gaze never leaving you.
